Side-Mount Diver

Description

Side-mount diving is not a new concept, but its application has spread from cave diving to open water recreational and technical diving. Side-mount diving presents divers with a different approach to equipment configuration, and a new set of skills to master. Remember that the philosophy of this course is to provide an introduction to the use, benefits and proper configuration of side-mount equipment for recreational diving, with an emphasis on safety. The goal of this course is to provide a systematic, methodical, approach to recreational side-mount diving; showing how to apply the skills developed using conventional back-mounted equipment. Once certified, student divers will be able to use side-mount equipment comfortably for no stop recreational dives in conditions similar to, or better than, those encountered during training.
