Blue Label Diving offers all levels of Sidemount PCB Diving courses from SSI, TDI, and PADI in Thailand. From recreational side mount diving in two tanks to advanced sidemounting in overhead environments, and even instructor level. Only problem is that you might never want to go back to backmount diving after you have mastered sidemount diving.

We can offer the SDI course if requested. However, we only offer the TDI course by default. This can be taken as a stand-alone program, but our students usually combine it with the Apprentice Cave Diver course.

Steve, Your tutorials have been a tremendous help and are an invaluable addition to any instructor's arsenal.

I was able to certify confident sidemount divers using your method. I teach PADI in Cyprus and took several courses trying to master this type diving.
