What is Sidemount Configuration?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Take the first step to become a Technical Diver. Don’t miss the SSI\u00a0Sidemount<\/strong>\u00a0specialty course! Increase your safety by wearing “double gas”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn new diving techniques with our technical diving instructors, such as the handling of two tanks underwater. Enjoy the advantages and comfort sidemount diving has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

This course is designed so that divers, both recreational and technical, learn carry scuba tanks anchored to the sides.<\/span>
This technique was designed for the comfort of recreational divers, so they don’t need to carry the bottle in their backs, in addition to being able to easily remove it and put it back on in order to climb up or down the boat, and without losing the positive buoyancy the system has in the surface . And of course, for cave diving where the channels are restrictive and difficult to dive into with two bottles on the back.<\/span>
A different configuration for a more comfortable and safer dive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greater Control and Buoyancy<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Sidemount system provides much more precise control in the water, improving stability and reducing effort throughout the dive<\/span>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Enhanced Safety During Dives<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Carrying the cylinders alongside your body provides easier access to your equipment and enhances safety in the event of an emergency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Access to Confined Spaces<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Sidemount is ideal for caves, cenotes, and confined areas where traditional backmount configurations can be more restrictive.<\/span><\/p>\n
