SSI Sidemount Scuba Diver Course
2 Days • Weekly
Dive with Dive Shop Maldives
Discover a whole new way to experience the underwater world! Sidemount diving is rapidly becoming one of the most popular configurations for recreational, technical, and cave divers alike. By moving your cylinders from your back to your sides, you instantly unlock unparalleled stability, comfort, and freedom of movement.
Whether you want to glide like a sleek underwater explorer, ease the load on your spine, or prepare for advanced technical diving, this course is your gateway to ultimate streamlining.
Why Go Sidemount?
- Unmatched Comfort & Trim: Say goodbye to walking around with heavy tanks on your back. Mounting cylinders at your sides aligns your center of gravity perfectly, allowing you to achieve effortless, horizontal trim.
- Enhanced Gas Management: With two independent cylinders directly under your control, you have a completely redundant gas supply and easy, visual access to your valves and regulators.
- Perfect for Photographers: The streamlined profile makes it easier to hover perfectly still for that shot-of-a-lifetime without rocking back and forth.
-
Easier Gear Handling: No more lugging heavy gear on deck. You can enter the water and clip your tanks on while floating, making boat entries and exits incredibly easy on your body.
