"good divers never stop learning"

This course is designed to teach certified divers how to safely utilize side-mounted primary cylinders as an alternative to the traditional back-mounted configuration.
The course is geared solely to open water, non-decompression diving and is designed for any diver interested in learning to dive a sidemount configuration.
Motivations for Sidemount

Additional tool
Streamlined, less drag
Lower profile for confined spaces
Easy Trim
Adjust gear to body shape
Independent dbl cyls allow for gas redundancy w/o X-over valve
X-over valve is vulnerable to impacts and thus potential failure pt.
Leaks easily detected, valves in-sight and accessible
Range of head motion increased
Tanks easily attached and removed in h2o, enter or exit H2with or without tanks
Tanks more manageable to and from dive site

Qualifications after certification

Upon successful completion of the Sidemount course, graduates may engage in sidemount diving activities with maximum two (2) independent tanks without direct supervision.
