COURSE OF THE MONTH
Buoyancy & Trim Workshop
Want to be able to relax underwater and move about gracefully , with the added benefit of using less gas on a dive ? Then a BSAC Buoyancy & Trim Workshop is just what you are looking for . The workshop will encourage you to think about your weighting and trim in a logical way . Adopting a disciplined approach to buoyancy ( how much weight ) and trim ( correct balance and attitude in the water ) is essential for all divers , and will allow you to perform many diving skills effortlessly . By taking control of your buoyancy , you are taking a big step towards safe and comfortable diving . To enrol on the Buoyancy and Trim Workshop , you must have already successfully completed an Ocean Diver course ( or have equivalent certification from another recognised training agency ). The workshop includes one theory session and two open-water dives . You will be taught the value of control and relaxation to achieve an optimum position in the water . You will come to understand what affects buoyancy underwater , and the practical steps required to maintain the classic horizontal diving posture . You will also have plenty of in-water time to practise your new skills – to descend , hover , ascend and swim horizontally . The experienced course instructors will give you plenty of feedback and help you to adjust your diving kit . Your buoyancy skills will be recorded during the second dive of the course and you ’ ll be awarded bronze , silver , gold or black standard . You will then be able to apply for the appropriate qualification card . You can find out more at bsac . com / buoyancy
