Sidemount

Sidemount diving is a scuba diving technique that has gained popularity in recent years due to its many advantages. Unlike traditional back-mounted tanks, sidemount diving involves carrying one or two separate tanks on either side of the body, which allows for increased flexibility, better balance and buoyancy control, and added redundancy and safety in case of equipment failure. With sidemount diving, divers can easily access their tanks and equipment without the need to remove their gear, making it an ideal technique for exploring tight spaces, caves, and wrecks. It’s a thrilling way to experience the underwater world, offering divers a greater sense of freedom and independence as they explore the depths of the ocean.

ADVANTAGES
