Scuba Shack’s Buoyancy & Control program were designed by the owner and director of training, Ed Hayes, originally for the Scuba Shack professional level divers. Since then the programs have grown and evolved, and have been added to the standard curriculum in 2007, all certified divers can enroll in the program.
Buoyancy & Control is, by far, Scuba Shack’s most popular class, not only attracting divers from central Connecticut, but also students from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York and Pennsylvania.
Buoyancy & Control’s objective is to enable the divers to gain control of themselves in the water. This is done by giving the student divers answers, skills, and drills within the the following subject areas: pre-dive, equipment, buoyancy, propulsion and body position. If a diver can control these subjects while in the water, they will be on their way to a much more enjoyable diving experience.
All confined water sessions are video taped and reviewed during classroom training. Video is our best training aid – and fantastic personal feedback – to ensure you meet your goals.
