Great buoyancy is the difference between doing dives and diving well.
Peak Performance Buoyancy is one of the most valuable courses you can take as a diver. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. But it quietly changes everything.
In this course, Dive With Frank focuses on trim, balance, and control so you can hover effortlessly, move with intention, and stop fighting the water. You’ll use less gas, feel more relaxed, and gain the confidence that comes from being truly in control of your position underwater.
This is not a lecture-heavy course and it’s not a checkbox specialty. It’s hands-on, in-water coaching with immediate feedback and visible improvement.
If you’ve ever thought “I’m a decent diver, but I want to be better,” this course is for you.
This course focuses on practical, real-world buoyancy skills you can use on every dive:
Proper weighting so you’re neither heavy nor floaty
Trim adjustment for stable, horizontal positioning
Efficient finning and body position
Hovering comfortably in multiple positions
Reducing effort and improving air consumption
Moving through the water smoothly without silting or disturbance
You’ll leave the course feeling the difference, not just knowing the theory.
The Peak Performance Buoyancy course includes two open water dives focused entirely on buoyancy control, trim, and movement.
These dives are slow, deliberate, and skill-focused. There’s no rush and no distractions. The goal is refinement, not adrenaline.
Expect personalized coaching, small adjustments, and noticeable improvement dive by dive.
New divers who want to build strong fundamentals early
