"I want to teach sidemount will you train me..?" Back to Courses - PADI Courses - GSM Courses

Yes, but there are conditions (please read in full).

Also note the training will not come cheap and I won't just train anyone. Please email me with as many details about your dive history and business as possible, then I will get back to you with more information and my training suggestions.

Sidemount diving is something that I have spent the last 3 years changing my life and business around. I am very passionate about this topic and I realise that people like yourself reading this will want to use me as I am one of the main sidemount instructors leading the field.

Reasons you may decide to train with me; 

• Marketing advantages for you, as other divers will know that I trained you as a sidemount instructor.
• Given my background in sidemount training, I will be able to fast track your teaching skills.
• Gain more credibility with the "standardised" sidemount courses you offer. After all what separates you from the other sidemount instructors.
• Chance to ask me business related questions, that no doubt will help your tec dive centre stand out.

To see detailed information on the development of my sidemount courses, please view this article (click here).

What instructor levels can you train me in;

• PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
• PADI Specialty Instructor 
• PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
• PADI IDC Staff Instructor
• PADI Tec Instructor
• PADI Tec 50 Instructor
• PADI Tec Trimix Instructor
• PADI Sidemount Instructor
• PADI Tec Sidemount Instructor

If you have not yet learned to sidemount, then I suggest you ask me for my Sidemount Essentials Specialty Course, it is a very comprehensive sidemount training course, covering much more than the standard courses. It is an ideal course to give you the right "foundation training" I think you need to prepare you, if you are thinking of becoming a PADI sidemount instructor.

What would your Sidemount Instructor course involve;

• If you are not a certified sidemount diver, then you would need to do a student level course first suggest my (sidemount essentials).
• If you are a certified sidemount diver, then I would need to evaluate your skill level over 1 or 2 days.
• To become a sidemount instructor with me you would need to assist a minimum of x1 complete training course. I would be training you to become a sidemount instructor, not just giving you a ticket to teach. So if you are not upto scratch then more work would be needed before I can provide you with certification.
• Training with me to become a sidemount instructor is not going to be the easiest option, the most valuable and rewarding maybe.

Instructors I have trained and currently recommend are; 

• (names & contact information will go here as a list)

Please note: I have trained sidemount instructors in the past (on my old distinctive specialty), but that was over 1 year ago and alot has changed since then. If those instructors retrain with me then I will include there names above, so check back anytime to see who makes the list.
