IANTD Open Water Sidemount Diver Course Overview

Sidemount diving isn't just for cave diving anymore.  With the IANTD Open Water Sidemount Diver course, you'll learn the basics of the sidemount diving configuration.  Sidemount is a gear configuration in which a diver wears a tank on each side of his body instead of mounted on his back. Sidemount tanks lie parallel to the body, below the shoulders and along the hips.  For cave diving, sidemount can help you get through some tight places easier.  With this introductory level, we'll just scratch the surface.
