LivingSeas Buoyancy, Trim and Propulsion Clinic

Coming out of your dives feeling tired? Having problems hovering at depth during safety stops? Want to take an underwater photograph but can't stay still long enough to take that shot?

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

These are very common issues related to a diver. LivingSeas' Buoyancy, Trim and Propulsion Clinic offers you tools and feedback from our instructors over a 1 evening lecture, half day pool session followed by classroom review over a weekend, as a solution to the issues above.

What you will get out of the workshop

1. A deeper understanding of how buoyancy directly affects your dive profile, thereby reducing your risks of getting decompression sickness.
2. An in-depth view of equipment configuration and its contribution to trim and holding it.
3. Efficient propulsion techniques.
4. Proper weighting protocols
5. Specific techniques to improve trim
6. Self evaluation tools to keep improving even after the workshop
