Perfect Buoyancy - Class
2026-08-16 09:00 - 12:00 | France Park, 4505 US-24, Logansport, IN, 46947, United States
Tired of asking someone how much weight you need or being the first of the group to use all your air. Want to glide through the water and not be that diver that is constantly struggling to stay off the bottom? Then consider continuing your education with the IDC’s Perfect Buoyancy course.

This is not your standard Perfect Buoyancy course. The Indy Dive Center has tuned the course to provide you with the skills to finely control your buoyancy underwater.

Buoyancy control is what defines skilled scuba divers. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover almost as if by thought. They more easily observe aquatic life without disturbing their surroundings. You can achieve this, too. The SSI Perfect Buoyancy Specialty course improves the buoyancy skills you learned as a new diver and elevates you to the next level.
The SSI Perfect Buoyancy program teaches you the skills and techniques needed to maximize your dive experience, increase your comfort in the water, and get the most from your equipment. You will earn the SSI Perfect Buoyancy Control Specialty certification.
