Sidemount is perfect for the overhead environment
What you will learn
Sidemount diving was developed by cave divers for application in the overhead environment. As such this system is well suited to diving in the caves but also lends itself to anywhere with restricted access or difficulty in portage of heavy equipment.
Whatever your reasons for seeking training in sidemount configuration and techniques we are sure you will love it. We primarily focus on technical sidemount for application in the overhead environment. But we can also offer recreational focussed training for open water applications.
