Philosophy
Sidemount diving is not a new concept, but its application has spread from
cave diving to open water recreational and technical diving. Sidemount diving
presents divers with a different approach to equipment configuration and a
new set of skills to master.
The philosophy of this course is
to provide an introduction to the benefits and proper configuration of
sidemount equipment for recreational diving. During the course we will focus on
planing, prepapation, basic sidemoutn skills and problem solving.
Course includes instructor led presentations to develop theory knowledge, practical application
and training dives. There are one to two confined sessions and three open water dives.
