Steve Martin - Sidemount Diving Training"See course charts below..."

Sidemount diving is becoming increasing popular, it was time for me to update the courses section. Please research your future sidemount instructor carefully, not all training courses are the same.

Ask yourself has your future sidemount instructor;

  • Written & developed their own proven sidemount courses
  • Have the experience and ability to train sidemount instructors
  • Have "multiple" YouTube videos, inspiring divers to go sidemount
  • Trained over 60 divers in sidemount
  • A dedicated website, that's been educating divers about sidemount diving for over 3 years
  • Spent 1 year after their own initial training actually diving sidemount for themselves
  • Given unbiased advice on equipment selection (after actually testing all the different available systems)
  • Advised & worked with dive manufacturers to make dedicated sidemount equipment
  • Been invited to host sidemount talks & seminars throughout many countries over the world
  • Lastly eat, sleep & breath Side Mount (100% of their focus is on the development of sidemount diving)
