PSAI ADVANCE BUOYANCY COURSE
PSAI Advance Buoyancy Control Courses offers you a better buoyancy control. It is a compulsory course which participant will learn all the buoyancy aka TRIM and equipment configurations for any penetration dives to the caves and wreck.

DATA management will increase the divers awareness of depth, air, time and environment. Gas management skill allows the student to understand if gas is sufficient for a particular dive. In-depth of gears configurations will be introduced. Seven feet long hose for gas share, changing to back up regulators and procedures to evacuated will be shared during this dive course. Different type of finning techniques will be introduced for efficient kicking and streamlining against current.

Overview

The horizontal position is often called prone, superman, or skydiver position. For a scuba diver, the horizontal trim is the most efficient way to move through the water. In addition, the horizontal trim provides vertical drag, helping divers maintain a constant depth.

However, getting into this position is often difficult for most new divers. On the various scuba boards, there are daily questions regarding: “too head heavy”, “floaty feet”, “can’t stay trim”, etc. Fortunately, this problem is solvable.

In managing trim, there are two major forces that the dive must balance – buoyancy and weight.

  • Buoyancy is the upward force on the diver. This may include BCD, wetsuits, boots, fins, tanks, and of course our own personal floatation.
  • Weight is the downward force on the diver. This may include weight belts, trim weights, backplates, lights, fins, tanks, regulators, and any additional item on the diver that sinks in water.

A diver’s trim pivots around a point, and this is usually around the divers midpoint. In the diagram below, this is denoted by the red triangle. Think of the diver as a see-saw across this pivot. For example, if the diver has too little buoyancy or too much weight in the upper body, he will be head heavy.

This course is a must for all divers!!
