SSI Peak Performance Buoyancy in Fujairah - Price, Duration & Booking

Course overview

SSI Perfect Buoyancy hones your weighting, trim and breathing control so you move through the water with less effort. On Fujairah's gently sloping east-coast reefs like Dibba Rock you learn to hover and glide without touching the coral, which makes your dives longer, calmer and easier on the marine environment.

Hover motionless in multiple body positions
Use breathing to control fine ascents and descents
Move close to reefs without contact and save air
