Sidemount Instructor offering courses in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and UK

A website dedicated to sidemount scuba diving, you will find useful information on the topic of sidemounting and course details for the recreational and technical diver.

Sidemount equipment configuration has always been preferred for advanced cave diving, but now it is becoming very popular in open water diving environment; in particular technical diving and advanced wreck penetration. I have personally found sidemounting with one cylinder great for recreational diving.

This website offers detailed information on sidemount diving the equipment configuration used and open water training course options. 

Please view my calendar to see which countries and when I will be running training courses for 2010.
