Extended Range / Tec Sidemount Diver Class
Extended Range / Tec Sidemount Diver Class
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. The sidemount configuration is most commonly used by technical divers, either to streamline their equipment in overhead environments or to carry extra cylinders for long decompression stops. If you want to expand your underwater horizons beyond the recreational limits, the Extended Range / Tec Sidemount Diver course focuses on the skills and equipment used in tec diving. Academics: Along with learning about the many benefits of diving with a sidemount configuration, during one confined water and four open water scuba dives you will learn how to:
  • Properly assemble and configure sidemount scuba diving equipment,
  • Trim your weight system and sidemount gear to be perfectly balanced in the water,
  • Manage gas by switching second stages as planned, if wearing two cylinders,
  • Perform air consumption rate swims to gather information for later calculation,
  • Manage and switch your air supply during simulated emergency situations,
