If you think about Decompression diving and/or Sidemount diving, why not combine it?
It will give you more air, which is especially beneficial for heavy breathers. This option allows you to enjoy your bottom time even more while worrying less about your air supply.
By combining the SSI Decompression Diving course with the Recreational Sidemount course, you’re preparing yourself for a new world of underwater exploration. Whether you’re drawn to the deep wrecks, stunning walls, or the allure of marine life in the twilight zone, these courses will equip you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to explore it all safely and with style.
Dive deeper, stay longer and do it with the grace and comfort that sidemount diving provides. Join us for a thrilling journey – book your courses today and embark on your next scuba adventure!
