SideMount Training

[tflaris]

Does anyone have any recomendations for a Side-mount Instructor. Interested in an individual that has dove several differnt types of sidemounts and also has built their own. Any suggestions are appreciated. I am located a couple hours away from Cave Country.

Folks, please send your recommendations via PM.

Make sure when choosing your sidemount instructor to ask around to other sidemount divers. Also ask the instructor about their sidemount history and where / how many sidemount dives they have.

I will PM you. It's to bad some of the best people to get training from for sidemount are not "sidemount instructors".

I heard Bill Rennaker talking about doing a sidemount class, you might want to call CE and see if it’s a go.

I guess you realized this after your PADI Sidemount class you took?

The Fall Dive In that is in the events subforum includes a sidemount clinic with Lamar Hires.

Wrong. It was an SSI Sidemount course I took... just cause the guy dove sidemount the first time when in the water with me, doesn;t mean I can question his qualifications... I mean he DID have an International Safe Cavediver Award, doesn't that mean something?
