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.
If the course is successfully completed, graduates are eligible to participate in sidemount dive activities under supervision.
Get the PADI Sidemount PCB Diver and Tec Sidemount PCB Diver Manual from your local PADI Dive Shop and start studying immediately. If you have a recreational sidemount diver certification, you'll focus on Chapters Two and Three, if not, you'll read the entire manual.

Steve, I just stumbled upon the new chapters that you have added to your online courses. They are great. They are especially useful when searching for a specific part of a video or reviewing them. They were easy to use and I started using them immediately after I saw them. Timo, a big thank you!
I appreciate your work greatly. I started sidemounting using your online videos, completed the speciality course on it, and just finished UTD cave 1. Your videos have made a huge difference in my life, so I owe you a big hat. Keep creating great content.
Grab the PADI Sidemount PB Diver and Tec Sidemount PB Diver Manual at your local PADI Dive Shop, and get started immediately. If you are a recreational diver, you can focus on Chapters Two to Three. Otherwise, you can go through the entire manual.
Sidemount PCB Diving courses are an excellent stand-alone course that technical divers can take if they want to improve their skills and proficiency with various gear configurations. This course can also be taught alongside any other open-circuit specialty courses offered by TDI, provided that all requirements and standards are met.
It is possible to rent items such as primary light bulbs and cylinders which can be cumbersome to travel with. You should let us know if any of these are required.
Computer-aided instruction is an integral aspect of nearly all courses we teach. Why? The answer is simple: eLearning makes it easier for students to get in the water quicker and spend more time in the water. That's why we offer all applicable eLearning courses -- which are usually worth $140 -- at no additional charge. This means that you will get an additional day of training in the water. How valuable is that? Priceless.
Love your vids Steve. I’m in Nova Scotia Canada. Just got my tdi sm cert in August. I bought your online course to supplement my training. It’s helped me a lot! Thank you
Be aware of what you're paying: All prices include instruction and eLearning. The cost of eLearning by itself can range from $140 to $280. A $640 course purchased from us may cost you the same as $500 purchased from someone else, if you need to pay for elearning separately.
Not all certifications may be accepted by other dive training organizations. Ask your Tec Sidemount PCB instructor.
