Sidemount Diving vs back mount diving is generally considered to be much more comfortable due to added stability and is also much safer as you will be carrying a redundant gas source and always have access to your tank valves incase you encounter any problems while you dive. Throughout the SDI Sidemount course you will learn about gas management, equipment considerations, proper weighting and much more. Prerequisites for the course:
