Recreational Sidemount Diving
In this course, you'll learn everything you need to be a sidemount diver. Without a heavy tank on your back, you'll feel more comfortable in the water, effortlessly improving your hydrodynamics and balance. This will allow you to reduce gas consumption, making better use of your dive time. You'll also have better buoyancy control, easier access to valves, and greater redundancy, providing increased safety and confidence.
