Sidemount Diver
Course
Discover the benefits of Sidemount Diving with Scuba Courses. Perfect trim and buoyancy make it ideal for both Technical & Recreational Divers. Learn about equipment configuration, gas management, streamlining, finning techniques and much more. Experience sidemount and you’ll never go backmount again.
With so many benefits to sidemount diving it’s hard to understand why you’re not diving on it already.
Having scuba tanks on your back isn’t a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides. Sidemount diving gives you flexibility and streamlining options. Plus, you don’t have to walk with heavy cylinders on your back – just enter the water, clip them on and go.
