Turn Your Passion Into Your Career
Having scuba tanks on your back isn't a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Sidemount diving is where a diver configures their tanks along their side instead of on their back, divers find that it offers more flexibility and better streamlining options!
Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides. Historically Sidemount diving was most popular with cave and wreck divers, where diving in an overhead environment was not suitable for backmount. Over the last few years, Sidemount diving has become more and more popular in everyday diving situations, it gives you flexibility and streamlining options. Plus, you don't have to walk with heavy cylinders on your back - just enter the water, clip them on and go. Sound interesting? Sign up for the PADI Sidemount Diver Specialty course.
All divers must be at least PADI Advanced or equivalent and have been diving within the last 12 months. Feeling a bit rusty? Try one of our pool refreshers!
A Sidemount gear package is available for rent for the course for $69.95, which can be credited towards the cost of purchasing a package (within 6 months of the course)
Don't have a vehicle? No problem! We have three passenger vans available that will get you everywhere you need to go!
All divers must provide their own mask & snorkel (rentals not available).
You will be given a PADI Sidemount Diver Specialty manual, where you will learn about different type of equipment that's involved in sidemount diving, planning process and safety procedures. You'll complete a series of self-guided knowledge reviews, which you will go through with your instructor on the first night of your course.
During the first evening of your course, your instructor will first review your knowledge reviews, and spend some time going over how to properly assemble and configure sidemount scuba diving equipment. In the pool you will learn how to manage gas by switching between regulators, practice your buoyancy, and learn how to handle problems that may arise while sidemount diving.
The PADI Sidemount Specialty Course takes place over one evening class/pool session, and one weekend, where you will complete a series of four ocean dives.
*Divers are required to have their own Mask & Snorkel (no rentals available). Other required equipment needed for this course: Boots, Gloves, and Fins (which can all be rented)
