Scuba diving with a sidemount configuration simply means that you carry your tanks at your sides instead of on your back. This can reduce drag and is more comfortable for many divers. Sidemount divers often dive with two smaller tanks that are attached in the water.

About the Course
Discover the balance and efficiency of sidemount scuba diving with your PADI dive instructor. Many divers find sidemount tanks are more comfortable and easier to put on in the water. Sidemount diving is also beneficial for divers who want improved balance and prolonged dives.
What You’ll Learn
- Assemble and configure sidemount equipment
- Mount scuba tanks in the water
- Adjust your weights for optimal balance
- Frog kick to move easily while wearing sidemount
First, you’ll make a confined water dive to become familiar with sidemount diving equipment. Your PADI Instructor will also teach you sidemount diving skills including:
- frog kicking, attaching and removing scuba tanks as you enter and exit the water
- unclipping a scuba tank and swimming with the tank in front of you
- how to switch second stages and manage your breathing gas when wearing two scuba tanks.
When you’re comfortable with these skills, you’ll make three open water dives where you’ll practice your old skills, new skills, buoyancy control and problem solving.
