PADI SDI TDI SCUBA

TDI Sidemount Diver



The new TDI Sidemount Diver eLearning saves students time, as they don’t need to go to several different sources to assemble the materials needed to understand sidemount.   Rather than take a dogmatic “my way or the highway” approach to Sidemount Diver training, the TDI program covers the broad range of equipment, procedures and techniques used by experienced sidemount divers around the world.

TDI Sidemount covers all the skills and performance requirements from Intro to Tech, but for the sidemount diver. 

Who this course is for:

  • The certified diver looking to use a sidemount cylinder instead of the standard back mount unit in a technical setting.

Course prerequisites:

  • SDI Open Water Scuba Diver or equivalent
  • Minimum age 18, 15 with parental consent.

    What’s in it for you?

    Upon successful completion of this course, graduates may engage in sidemount diving activities without direct supervision, provided the following limits are adhered to:

    • Safety stops as appropriate
    • Planned dives do not exceed diver’s current certification level

SDI Sidemount and TDI Sidemount may be combined and taken as one class.  Simply sign-up for both SDI and TDI Sidemount
