WHAT IS SIDEMOUNT DIVING?

Sidemount diving is now a widespread trend. It’s a revolutionary diving gear configuration where scuba tanks are worn on each side of the diver’s body instead of the traditional back placement. It facilitates penetration, enables easier access to cylinder valves, provides a more efficient gas redundancy (by having two completely independent sources of gas), and allows tanks to be easily removed if necessary. These benefits were also recognised by wreck divers looking for a better solution for exploring restrictive environments.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SIDEMOUNT COURSES

Sidemount diving and equipment configuration can be very intricate. Self-teaching often leads to suboptimal results. Stratis Kas, a pioneer in technical sidemount diving, offers comprehensive multi-day courses. Training includes theory, equipment setup, skills practice, and actual sidemount dives, optimizing proficiency efficiently.
