Sidemount Courses

The new PADI specialty Side Mount Diver will introduce you to the new way of diving wearing tanks on your side instead of your standard back mount set up.

Cave divers have used this set up already for a long time as it gives you extra safety by having your own spare tank and regulator, in case of a gas emergency you can handle the problem all by yourself.

A great first step for those interested in Cave Diving and Tech Diving is to get comfortable with the gear before committing to a full course.
