We will start by discussing the relationship between Weighting, Trim, Breathing and Finning Techniques and how each of these plays an important overlapping role in mastering your buoyancy. In the pool we will expand on these concepts and work on refining our buoyancy control through various drills. You will be refreshed on proper weighting, practice proper descent/ascent procedures (floor is lava!!), breathing techniques, and introduced to finning techniques that will help you become more efficient and controlled in the water. We will also introduce the concept of body awareness, and spatial/situational awareness so that you may improve your team/group dynamics. Depending on your needs or level, we have various challenges for you to improve and become a better diver.
