PADI Sidemount Diver Specialty

Having scuba tanks on your back isn’t a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many scuba divers have discovered the joy of mounting cylinders on their sides. Sidemount diving gives you flexibility and streamlining options. Plus, you don’t have to walk with heavy cylinders on your back – just enter the water, clip them on and go. Sound interesting? Sign up for the PADI Sidemount Diver Specialty course.

Discounted rate for online booking. Note: study materials and certification fee are not included. Please add them to your shopping cart, only if you have not already purchased them in any other way.
