Think back to when you used to dive on a single cylinder, remember how flexible you were in the water, how much movement you had.

Then came tech diving and twin sets.....The down side to diving on a twin set is that you have to constantly be assessing your trim and buoyancy to keep you in a comfortable position in the water. Some divers enjoy this aspect of tech diving but others hate having their movement so restricted.

Diving on Side Mounts gives you back the freedom and flexibility while still having two cylinders, making it a perfect solution for those of you who have had enough of being stuck in the same position.

Side Mount Courses are now available at Techwise. Steve Bogaerts will be out here in June running the Basic Side Mount Open Water Course which is the starting point for anyone who’s thinking of taking up Side Mount diving.

To find out more about Side Mount diving and the course see the top link in Newsflash above. If you are already booked on this course and want to find out what Equipment you will be needing for the course see the Equipment Needed Link above.
