Recreational Sidemount

Sidemount diving involves carrying tanks on the sides of the body rather than on the back. It has numerous benefits that allow for greater flexibility and freedom of movement during your dives.

  • A streamlined profile reduces drag and effort, making it easier to move through the water efficiently. This can result in longer bottom times and reduced air consumption.
  • Sidemount systems provide easier access to regulators and tanks, allowing you to address issues quickly and safely. This can be particularly advantageous in emergencies.
  • Sidemount diving inherently includes redundancy with two or more tanks, enhancing safety by providing an additional air supply in case of equipment failure.
  • Sidemount systems are highly customizable, allowing you to tailor your setup to your preferences and specific diving conditions.
  • Sidemount diving is versatile and can be used in various diving environments, from recreational scuba diving to technical diving and cave diving. Learning sidemount techniques opens up new opportunities for exploration and adventure.
