PADI TEC Sidemount Diver level

The PADI Tec Sidemount Course is available in Phuket Thailand. This Tec Sidemount Course offers the same benefits as the PADI Sidemount Diver course but gives you the opportunity to dive with 2+ cylinders for extended dive times.

Tec Sidemount Skills:

Stage rigging, breathing hose management, staging bottles/cylinders on and off the diver, Air sharing and finning techniques are a few of the skills covered during this course.

The Tec Sidemount Diver course is a great way to get started into technical diving because the skills you learn in this course will train you to handle multiple cylinders on a single dive.

You’ll learn about the advantages of diving with a sidemount configuration and how to set up a tec sidemount harness. You’ll get hands-on training during one confined water session and four open water dives where you’ll start with two tanks and add at least two more, maybe even getting to six sidemounted cylinders.

You can combine what you learn in the Tec Sidemount Diver course with other open-circuit tec courses that you take, or certifications you’ve already earned, to take advantage of sidemount’s cylinder configuration and handling advantages.
