Customising Sidemount Equipment - Tips and TricksA website dedicated to sidemount scuba diving, you will find useful information and tips and tricks on sidemount diving and it's equipment setup. Sidemount equipment configuration has always been preferred choice for advanced cave divers, but now it is becoming very popular for many divers in open water diving environment; in particular with some recreational, technical and advanced wreck divers. I have personally found sidemounting with one or two cylinders more enjoyable for recreational diving.
 
Look at my current schedule I am running several sidemount courses each month. I have a sidemount training proposal for overseas clients which can be emailed. This is really only available to dive centres. There is also extra training for instructors wanting to become sidemount instructors.
 
If you are a single student looking to do any courses with me, please drop me an email and can either schedule a course and have others join or you can join a course I have already running. If you have any questions about the training or equipment needed, do not hesitate to contact me. If your a dive centre, please send me your website address and contact details.

Dive Rite Nomad Expedition Harness/Rig with the Armadillo butt plate. Video shows incorrect trimming of sidemount cylinders, when using the "door handles" to mount the rear of the cylinder the base of the cylinder rides to high. After adjustment trim is corrected, note not using any attachments on the rear of the harness or butt plate.
