Equipment support
Training setup prepared around the course level.
Sidemount is not only about changing where the cylinders sit. It is about changing how the whole configuration feels, moves, and behaves in the water.
The training focuses on setup, trim, buoyancy, cylinder handling, and the small habits that keep the system clean and efficient rather than awkward.
Main focus of the course
- Building and adjusting the sidemount configuration
- Improving trim and overall balance in the water
- Managing cylinders comfortably during the dive
- Applying the setup in guided Red Sea sessions

Need To Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be an advanced diver already?
You need a certified diving background, but the exact entry level is confirmed around your profile and comfort.
Is sidemount useful even for recreational diving?
Yes. Many divers choose it for comfort, trim, and a different style of equipment management, not only for technical reasons.
Will the course help me set up my own equipment properly?
Yes. A big part of the training is making the configuration fit your body and your diving style more cleanly.
