Become a sidemount diver and enjoy comfort, exploration and a new feeling of buoyancy.
Becoming more popular amongst scuba divers, Sidemount Diving is already a standard practice for scuba diving wrecks, caves and tight spaces. However, with the new found ease of movement as well as a new feeling of buoyancy, side mount diving is enticing more divers than ever because of the advantages of this scuba diving style. Plus another benefit is the way of wearing the sidemount gear before you jump in the water without a heavy tank on your back.
In our sidemount diving program, you’ll learn all you need to go single or two-cylinder recreational sidemount diving to a maximum depth of 30 meters or to your certification depth, whichever is deeper. For more information on what you will cover visit our webpage.
