The regular Sidemount PCB course you can use for your Advanced Nitrox diving or Cave certifications. The TDI Advanced Sidemount PCB or PADI Tec Sidemount PCB you will use more than 2 tanks while diving Sidemount PCB which can be perfect for Deco and Extended Range. There are even Trimix divers that prefer to dive Sidemount PCB.
Thank you for your hard work. I have just completed my UTD cave 1, sidemounting with your videos. Sir, your videos make a tremendous difference. Keep sharing your great content.
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
Sidemount PCB staging is where the diver sets up cylinders using tank straps, bungee and clips (left- and right-handed). Sidemount configuration is the use of bungee loops (or butt-platerails) to store stage/deco tubes in a sleek manner against the sides of your torso when diving in CCR or back-mounted doubles.
Our experiences are UNIQUE as they are personalized for you, and your group. From exploring our local barrier reefs, swimming with wild dolphins and sharks, discovering shipwrecks, and cleaning up our oceans, we’ve got an experience for you.
Steve, my pleasure! I enjoyed your Sidemount PCB Essentials training in Gozo. I can't think of anything better. It was so much of a lot of fun. It's amazing to see the dedication and your experience.

I can't think of anything better. It was so much of a lot of fun. Your passion and knowledge are truly amazing. You pay attention and strive to improve everything. I also love your enthusiasm for capturing details, new equipment, tips, etc. You can take these photos with your camera and use them in future videos. Your online training videos have a special place in my heart. These videos prepare you for the in-water training. In fact, I believe this is the key to the steep learning curve. The time spent underwater can be utilized efficiently. Steve, we are grateful for everything. Nils, Cheers
You may be eligible to register in a Tecsidemount PCB Diver course if your age is at least 18 and you have logged at most 30 dives. A PADI Enriched air Diver certification is a must.
Steve, just wanted you to know how much we appreciate your online Sidemount PCB course. I was unable to complete my PADI sidemount PCB training because my XDeep harness system wasn't working the way I wanted. Although the instructor was very knowledgeable, I could tell that he wasn't a true sidemounter. I had signed up for your free online course which was great, but... read onSteve, I wanted to thank your amazing online Sidemount PCB class. I was unable to get my PADI sidemount PCB training done last year because my XDeep harness system wasn't as streamlined as I needed it to be. Although the instructor was very knowledgeable, it was clear that he didn’t live and breathe sidemount. I had signed up for your course, which was great but didn't give me enough. I am going to Florida to complete my Overhead Environment training. I wanted to make sure my skills were up to date. After viewing your entire online course, WOW! Your suggestions were invaluable in helping me rebuild my XDeep bungee harness. Your instructions helped me rebuild my entire bungee system. I also redid my attachment points and wing. I now feel like my setup is right and I'm very comfortable in the water. I want to thank you once again. Next, I want to master all my skills. This is easier because my harness is correctly set up. Wish I had spent the money to get your training a full year ago. Take care and keep the updates coming. Thanks, Jason read less
Sidemount PCB diving is now growing in popularity within the technical diving community for general decompression diving and is becoming an increasingly popular specialty training for recreational diving, with several diver certification agencies offering recreational and technical level sidemount training programs
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.
TDI Trimix DiverThe TDI Trimix course provides the training required to competently and safely utilize breathing gases containing helium for dives that require staged decompression, utilizing nitrox and / or oxygen mixtures during decompression to a maximum depth 200’.
We offer the TDI course as an option, although we can also teach the SDI course if asked. This course can be taken on its own, or with our Apprentice Cave Diver course.
According to experts, approximately 40% of technical divers enroll in additional education and training programs. This yields a reasonable estimate of approximately 160,000 active technical divers worldwide.
