SIDEMOUNT DIVING IN GRAN CANARIA
LEARN TO DIVE SIDEMOUNT WITH ME
What is Sidemount diving?
Sidemount diving is a diving configuration where cylinders are worn at the diver’s sides instead of on the back. Originally developed for cave diving, it has become a popular choice for both recreational and Technical Divers.
This setup improves trim, buoyancy control and overall comfort in the water. It also reduces strain on the back and allows for easier equipment handling before and after the dive.
With proper Sidemount training, divers learn how to optimise their setup, refine their positioning and manage equipment safely. Whether you’re looking to improve your diving or move towards PADI Technical Diving courses in Gran Canaria, a Sidemount course is a natural next step.
