You don't need to carry tanks on your back to explore the underwater world. Sidemount configuration — tanks clipped alongside you rather than strapped to your back — gives you better streamlining, easier entries, and a genuinely different feel in the water. Once divers try it, a lot of them don't go back.
We'll start with a confined water session to dial in your configuration and trim, then move to three open water dives to build real comfort with gas switching, balance, and problem management in sidemount. If technical diving interests you down the road, this course also sets you up directly for Tec Sidemount.
Assembling and configuring sidemount equipment, trim and weighting for sidemount, gas management when switching between second stages, and problem response specific to sidemount configuration.
Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent) required. Minimum age 15.
Knowledge development, sidemount equipment for the course, one confined and three open water dives, and your Sidemount Diver certification.
