TEC SIDEMOUNT

If you've looked into technical diving, you realize that Tec divers always wear more than one tank. Sidemount is an increasingly popular way to configure multiple cylinders for technical diving. You can enter the world of Tec diving with the Tec Sidemount Diver course and apply what you learn to other TecRec courses. Your instructor may offer to integrate this course with the Tec 40, Tec 45 or Tec 50 courses.

YOU’LL LEARN TO

The PADI Tec Sidemount program provides an introduction to all the basic concepts of technical diving and lets you gain experience handling 4 or more cylinders in sidemount configuration on a dive, all while staying within recreational no stop limits. Whether you're a recreational diver interested in seeing what tec diving is all about, looking to enroll in the PADI Tec program, or a backmount Tec diver interested in an alternative gear configuration, this course offers something for everyone.
