Wearing more than one tank is standard in technical diving, and sidemount configuration has become an increasingly popular way to do it — better streamlining, easier gas management, and genuine flexibility in tight spaces. Tec Sidemount teaches you to apply sidemount configuration across the rest of your TecRec training.
Once certified, what you learn here carries directly into your other Tec courses — Tec 40 through Trimix can all be completed in sidemount configuration if that's how you prefer to dive. We'll spend real time on gas switching, trim, and the specific problem management sidemount technical diving requires.
Technical sidemount configuration and setup, trim and balance with multiple cylinders, gas switching procedures, and sidemount-specific emergency management.
