Buoyancy

Good buoyancy skills are very important to observing marine life and not coming into contact with the creatures insures no damage is done during this observation. Three types of hovering will be taught and mastered. Hovering horizontally helps divers stop while swimming over a fragile bottom to observe and record what is below them. Hovering with feet slightly elevated allow divers to peer into crevices without touching the sides. Hovering with head slightly elevated is a comfortable position to look at the aquatic life along a wall or piling.
