The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver program is far more than just another “how to” book on sidemount diving. It’s a complete, comprehensive set of training materials designed to work together to make learning and teaching sidemount diving easy.



Our teaching philosophy is simple. We are mentors first and instructors last. We don't just teach diving. We go out on the water and dive. We are happy to answer your questions, and serve as a resource. We may not be able answer every question, but we will refer you to the person who can. We want to increase your dive knowledge and experience. It is important to ensure that an instructor has not paid for instructor ratings and been awarded the rating. Make sure the instructor has dive experience.

Skills
