Description of the Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Course:

The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty is a one-day course for certified divers who want to feel more comfortable and move better underwater. You’ll learn how to control your buoyancy, use less air, and improve your body position while diving. The course includes a short theory session and two dives where you’ll practice breath control, the right amount of weight, and how to move smoothly with your gear.

Courses are available every day!

What to Expect:

Theory Session – Start with a short class at our dive center. You’ll learn how buoyancy works, how to use the right amount of weight, control your breathing, and move through the water more easily.
2 Ocean Dives – Go on two training dives to practice what you learned. You’ll work on staying still in the water, using your fins more efficiently, and going through a fun underwater course with your instructor’s help.
Debrief & Certification – After the dives, your instructor will talk to you about how you did, give you useful tips, and give you your PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Certification.

Where to Meet?

Our meeting point is at our office located at Flamingos Street, between 40th Street North and 42nd Street North, on the corner next to the dive center, Zazil-Ha neighborhood, Postal code 77720 Playa del Carmen, Q.R.

Is certification required?

Yes, you must be at least Open Water certified to join the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Course!

What are the benefits of taking this course?

This course helps you use less air, move with less effort, and feel more comfortable and in control underwater. It also teaches you how to avoid harming marine life and the environment, and gives you better stability for taking underwater photos or videos.

How is this different from the buoyancy skills I learned in Open Water?

In Open Water, you learn the basics. In PPB, we take it to the next level—focusing on fine-tuning, streamlining, and subtle control to help you glide effortlessly like a pro.

Do I need to complete any theory or exams?

Yes, there’s a bit of independent study to do before the dives. It’s not a full classroom course like the Open Water, but you’ll review some theory—don’t worry, there’s no exam.

What if I struggle with buoyancy?

That’s exactly why this course exists. Whether you’re over-weighted, sinking at safety stops, or flailing around during ascents, this course will help you fix those problems.

What is the Cancellation Policy?

If canceled or modified up to 24 hours before the trip date, no fee will be charged. If canceled or modified later, or in the event of a no-show, 100% of the prepaid deposit will be charged. No fee applies if the activity is canceled by Xico Dive Center or cannot be rescheduled due to rough sea conditions or medical reasons (if a valid certificate is provided within 24 hours after no-show or cancellation). Under no circumstances, if there is a cancellation and e-learning has been activated, you will not be refunded your deposit for the e-learning.
