Recreational Sidemount Diver

Specialty

This three-part program provides certified divers of any experience level with a solid introduction to diving in a sidemount configuration. It covers everything from the selection and setup of your sidemount system, to dive planning, emergency procedures and more. You'll learn to dive with a single sidemounted tank, as well as with two sidemounted cylinders. This is the perfect starting point for those who have an interest in sidemounting, which may extend only to just getting a load off of their backs, or those who plan to continue their training into other technical areas, including Technical Sidcemount Diving. This foundation program is essential for anyone wanting to complete any portion of their basic Cave Diver or Technical dive curriculum in sidemount.
