Buoyancy Workshop in Palamós, Costa Brava

Excellent buoyancy control is what defines expert divers. You will be able to glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or remain neutrally buoyant almost instinctively. You will be able to observe aquatic life more easily without disturbing their environments. In this workshop you will improve the buoyancy control techniques you learned during your initial diver training.

Buoyancy Workshop, Gidive Center Palamós

The Buoyancy workshop consists of a first theoretical part followed by a dive to a maximum depth of 10 metres during which you will practise various skills to improve your buoyancy and your position in the water.

You may use your usual equipment, but you can also use a wing, backplate and harness set that will allow you to have a more natural position in the water.

During the buoyancy workshop you will learn to:

Adjust your weighting so that you are neither too light nor over-weighted.
Achieve a streamlined position to save energy, use air more efficiently and move more smoothly in the water.
Breathe correctly, fin efficiently and deploy the SMB correctly.
