Sidemount Diver

Having scuba tanks on your back isn't a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides. Sidemount diving 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.

Skills you will learn:

Properly assemble and configure sidemount scuba diving equipment
Trim your weight system and sidemount gear so you're perfectly balanced in the water
Manage gas by switching second stages as planned, if wearing two cylinders
Respond correctly to potential problems when sidemount diving
And more!
