What is the Advanced Buoyancy course?

Introducing a diver to the benefits of controlling their buoyancy usually has a great positive effect, an effect that will enhance the diver's sense of enjoyment and feeling of accomplishment. This specialty is designed to increase the open water diver's understanding of the factors that influence buoyancy, and to train the diver how to use the means available to them as methods for controlling their buoyancy.
