Wind your way through narrow swimthroughs. Hang upside down to spot that hidden lobster. Hover effortlessly along a wall. The PPB specialty fine-tunes your ability to control your lung volume, trim your weights, and reduce your air consumption. Excellent when combined with the PADI Digital Underwater Photographer specialty, or at the end of your PADI Open Water Diver course to set you on the right track with buoyancy control at the very start of your diving career.
