This course covers the equipment and skills for technical sidemount diving including both classroom workshops and three days of in-water skills development.
We wanted to give you, our students, some additional information about how to become a technical diving instructor and cave diving instructor. It is not always an easy task. Both of us have chosen to go through the difficult process of becoming technical diving and cave diving instructors.
We offer all scuba certifications as well as check out dives. We can tailor the class schedule to meet your needs with Elearn or onsite classes.
Sidemount Pros will supply your sidemount harness and all hardware necessary to set up your sidemounts cylinders. If you are interested in purchasing the equipment, you can have it customized for you by Sidemount Pros during your course.
The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver Program is more than a book about sidemount diving. This comprehensive, complete set of materials is designed to help you learn and teach sidemount diving.
You�ll learn about the advantages of diving with a sidemount configuration and how to set up a tec sidemount harness. You�ll get hands-on training during one confined water session and four open water dives where you�ll start with two tanks and add at least two more, maybe even getting to six side-mounted cylinders.
Tech Sidemount skills are: gas management, gas switching and staged ascents. Vale drills.
Don't grab animals, don't hold them for photo ops, don't go for rides on dolphins or turtles, and don't force puffer fish to inflate (it can be fatal to them).
