WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

THE DIVES

WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR

What’s included

  • Course Tuition
    Instructor-led Peak Performance Buoyancy specialty training with focused coaching, real feedback, and in-water skill refinement. This is not a follow-the-leader dive. This is coached buoyancy work.
  • PADI eLearning
    Peak Performance Buoyancy eLearning is included by default so you can learn the concepts ahead of time and spend more time dialing things in underwater.
  • Two Open Water Dives
    Two open water dives dedicated entirely to buoyancy, trim, weighting, and control. No sightseeing rush. No distractions. Just skill work that makes every future dive better.
  • Instructor Coaching
    Small group or private coaching with real-time feedback, positioning adjustments, and practical drills tailored to your body, gear, and diving goals.
  • PADI Certification
    Successful completion earns the official PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty certification.
  • In-Person Academics
    Optional in-person academics are available at no extra cost for students who prefer classroom-style learning or want additional discussion before getting in the water.

What’s not included

  • Personal Dive Gear
    Mask, fins, exposure protection, BCD, regulator, weights, and any personal equipment. Use your own gear whenever possible so the skills transfer to every dive you do.
  • Tanks & Air Fills
    Tanks and air fills are not included unless specifically arranged in advance.
  • Site Entry Fees
    Any quarry, park, boat, or site-specific entry fees are not included.

Frank was patient and fantastic with us for our Dry Suit Class. We left the pool feeling infinitely more confident than when we arrived! Frank made sure to explain everything clearly and demo before we were asked to do it. Frank was easy to communicate with to make arrangements and get everything set up for the PADI course. Thanks Frank!

Recently joined Frank for a Zombie Apocalypse Diver specialty and had a great time! Great instructor who adapted the course to the students easily and made sure it was both educational and fun. Would absolutely take a class with him again in the future. The ZAD class itself is worth it for the opportunity to play with bubble ring guns ALONE!
