In this sidemount diving course, you’ll learn all you need to go single or two-cylinder recreational sidemount diving up to a maximum depth of 30 meters or to your certification depth, whichever is deeper. Sidemount diving is already common practice for wreck, mine, and cave divers, but now the benefits are being discovered by more recreational divers. With no heavy tank on your back, you’ll be more comfortable in the water and find your streamlining and trim improve effortlessly. By using less energy you may reduce your gas consumption so you can make the most of your dive time. With better buoyancy control, easier access to your valves and more redundancy as well, sidemount diving offers safety and peace of mind.
In this programme, you will get to learn the basic about sidemount diving in the classroom and then have two pool sessions to get used to the configuration and learn some basic skills.
Note, this programme does not qualify you to use the sidemount set up, but provides a great opportunity to explore the kit. You can be upgrade to the Recreational sidemount course to gain full qualification.
