We also offer PADI'S SIDEMOUNT DIVER COURSE
TDI’s Sidemount Diver specialty is the perfect course for any
technical diver wishing to use this increasingly popular equipment
configuration, either as a ‘stand-alone’ course or in conjunction with
one of TDI’s other open circuit specialties. It teaches students how to
safely utilize side-mounted primary cylinders as an alternative to the
traditional back-mounted method.
This course takes students through the specific techniques,
planning procedures and skills that set side-mounted cylinder diving
apart from the traditional back-mounted method. During the course, the
TDI Instructor takes students on a minimum of three dives and covers
skills such as:
- Equipment considerations
- Gas management
- Attaching cylinders
- Trim and buoyancy
- Deployment of surface marker
- Different water entries
TDI’s Sidemount Diver Specialty is a useful stand-alone course for
the technical diver who wants to become more skilled and proficient with
different gear configurations regardless of if he intends to use
sidemount all the time. The course may also be taught in conjunction
with any of TDI’s other open circuit specialty courses, on the condition
that all prerequisites and standards applicable to both courses are
fully met.
The maximum depth limit of this course must not exceed that of the
student’s current certification, unless being taught in conjunction with
another TDI course which allows a greater depth.
Course conducted over 2 Days.
