Neutral Buoyancy: Hover

Objective: 

To hover in the water without kicking or sculling [using your hands] for a minimum of 30 seconds.

Value: 

 Neutral buoyancy is one of the joys of scuba diving, this skill builds on the earlier skill of Fin Pivoting to help you feel what it's like to have the correct buoyancy.

Steps to Perform: 
  1. Deflate your BCD completely
  2. Add 2-3 small bursts of air to your BCD
  3. Kick off the bottom
  4. Inhale deeply [you should rise]
  5. Exhale [you should fall slightly]
  6. Add small amounts of air until you're able to remain in the water column
