Steve Martin - Sidemount Scuba DivingNot happy with training then only pay for the 1st day...

This means, if you are not satisfied at the end of your first day, you reserve the option to cancel your further training days without further payment, no problems and no hard feelings. If after day 1, you are 100% satisfied with my training then your sidemount development can continue!
 
So for just one day of your time you get the chance to find out if I am the right person to be training you. As a professional, I would much rather somebody be 100% satisfied with the training they receive than feel obligated to stick with something they are not necessarily happy with.
 
Why do you offer this money back guarantee..?

Having myself taken many training courses from a variety of instructors over the years, I have found that, while sometimes the course I paid for was enjoyable and did indeed meet my expectations, there were often occasions in which a course I enrolled in and paid for did not fulfill these same expectations and was not a rewarding or enjoyable experience. In hindsight, my training development would have been a much more fulfilling and enjoyable experience had I taken the time out to properly research each individual instructor and their training philosophy's.

So I believe that you should retain the right to choose whether or not my teaching style and philosophy is the right one for you. I am confident in my teaching ability and understand that some people may choose not to continue their training. And so therefore, I am more then willing to spend the necessary time training with you, in order for you to make that decision.

I believe in always teaching to the best of my ability and I believe my training is more than worth your time and commitment. If you would like to know more, you can view what others have to say in the testimonials section.

Bookings and Enquiries:

It is essential that we get in touch, so we can discuss your current diving skill level, your expectations and goals of your training. I work on a day by day rate, and courses such as "Side Mount Essentials" have a minimum set number of days. This is set to ensure that you receive the right amount of time to practice and develop the necessary dive skills needed for the foundations of your sidemount development. Having a "structured" course also allows you ample time to absorb and retain the information presented during that course.

Make sure you view the Photos - Videos section. You will find useful information in both the equipment page and the tips and tricks section  
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.

Calendar shows where I will be and duration of my time there. If I am in your area and you want to join a course, contact me for locations. If you see any dates free and would like me to visit your dive centre or location, drop me an email with location, course interest and possible dates.
Sidemount is by far the best configuration to use for developing every divers essential skill set. This video highlights what is covered with the side mount essentials training. There is a PADI and PADI TecRec option for divers wanting certification and a non-certification option for experienced divers.
Please note: Single Cylinder (is no longer offered as a stand alone course). It will be included as a workshop with an "optional training dive" with all of the above courses.
