Sidemount Courses


Sidemount, Tec Sidemount and Razor Basic Sidemount Open Water Courses

Sidemount Diver introduces divers to sidemount techniques for recreational scuba diving. Scuba diving with a sidemount configuration simply means that you carry your tanks at your sides instead of on your back. This can reduce drag and is more comfortable for many divers. This also makes carrying tanks and kitting up easier, especially compared to backmounted doubbles.
