Peak Performance Buoyancy: Two Dives to Perfect Your Trim in Monterey.
Monterey’s kelp forests and rocky reefs are the kind of places buoyancy mastery matters: stay perfectly balanced and you’ll glide through the water, waste less air and approach skittish fish for a closer look. The Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty is a focused, six-hour experience designed to teach that balance to certified divers aged 10 and up, with practical advice on logistics and what to bring for the day.
