PADI Tec Sidemount Diver Course
PADI TecRec courses are the quality benchmarks in the tec diving world due to their rigorous, yet logical, training sequence and the PADI educational materials that support them. TecRec courses are instructionally valid and have a seamless course flow that takes you from a new tec diver to one qualified to dive to the outer reaches of sport diving. Each level introduces you to new gear and procedures to extend your dive limits.

If you've looked into technical diving, you realize that tec divers always wear more than one tank. Sidemount is an increasingly popular way to configure multiple cylinders for technical diving. You can enter the world of tec diving with the Tec Sidemount Diver course and apply what you learn to other TecRec courses. Your instructor may offer to integrate this course with the Tec 40, Tec 45 or Tec 50 courses.
What will you learn?
You'll learn about the advantages of diving with a sidemount configuration and how to set up a tec sidemount harness. You'll get hands-on training during one confined water session and four open water dives where you'll start with two tanks and add at least two more, maybe even getting to six sidemounted cylinders.
To enroll in the Tec Sidemount Diver course, you must be*:
* Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply. Ask your PADI Tec Sidemount Instructor.

You also need to have a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.
 
How can you start learning now?
Visit our Eagan location to purchase the PADI Sidemount Diver and Tec Sidemount Diver Manual 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.
 
What scuba gear will you use?
You'll start with your basic sidemount diving equipment and add technical equipment. Your PADI Tec Sidemount Instructor can help guide your gear selection.
