What You'll Learn

   
     

First, you'll make a confined water dive to become familiar with sidemount diving equipment. Our Dive Instructor will also teach you sidemount diving skills including: frog kicking, attaching and removing scuba tanks as you enter and exit the water, unclipping a scuba tank and swimming with the tank in front of you, and how to switch second stages and manage your breathing gas when wearing two scuba tanks.

When you’re comfortable with these skills, you’ll make three open water dives where you’ll practice your new skills, buoyancy control and problem solving.

 
  • Assemble and configure sidemount equipment
  • Mount scuba tanks in the water
  • Adjust your weights for optimal balance
  • Frog kick to move easily while wearing sidemount
