Side mount diving can give you flexibility and streamlining options in varied dive conditions or locations. Adding this skill as an option opens your horizons in diving, and is often a requirement for technical diving. Plus, you don’t have to walk with heavy cylinders on your back – just enter the water, clip them on and go. Sound interesting? Sign up for the PADI Side mount Diver Specialty course with Sugar Land Dive Center and let’s go exploring!
