SIDEMOUNT 🎖
Bien qu'inventé pour la plongée souterraine, le sidemount est devenu une configuration courante pour la plongée loisir et technique.
Il permet des plongées plus longues et offre au plongeur une sécurité accrue grâce à l'utilisation de deux bouteilles indépendantes.
Le sidemount est un programme moderne conçu pour intégrer toutes les procédures actuelles adaptées à la plongée souterraine, technique et loisir.
Le sidemount peut être combiné à d'autres programmes afin de personnaliser la formation en fonction des besoins et des aspirations de chaque élève.
Il peut ainsi être associé au Nitrox, à la plongée profonde, ou encore à un programme technique, sur épave ou avec décompression.
Les seules conditions requises sont le respect des prérequis et des exigences minimales en matière d'heures et de niveaux pour chaque formation.
SSI - SIDEMOUNT🎖
In this Sidemount diving course, you’ll learn all you need to go single or two-cylinder recreational Sidemount diving up to a maximum depth of 30 meters or to your certification depth, whichever is deeper.
Sidemount diving is already common practice for wreck, mine, and cave divers, but now the benefits are being discovered by more recreational divers. With no heavy tank on your back, you’ll be more comfortable in the water and find your streamlining and trim improve effortlessly. By using less energy you may reduce your gas consumption so you can make the most of your dive time. With better buoyancy control, easier access to your valves and more redundancy as well, Sidemount diving offers safety and peace of mind.
This is the best Sidemount diving course to discover and enjoy the enticing advantages of this dive style. You learn all the skills and knowledge you need to safely and comfortably dive with a single or two-cylinder Sidemount equipment configuration.

INSURANCES
ABC PHUKET DIVING strongly recommend that each Guest purchases comprehensive accident, medical, baggage and trip cancellation/interruption insurance when space is reserved.
Please be advised that if Guest chooses NOT to purchase any trip insurance, we will not be responsible for any financial disappointment caused by reasons beyond our control.
We also recommend that Guests ensure that they have adequate diving insurance.
We first provide a mandatory basic Thailand insurance that covers boat and scuba incidents for diving day trips and courses. Please note that this is a pay-and-claim insurance, where you pay the medical facility in advance and then claim back the expenses (this is a common practice in Thailand).
We offer our students complimentary support from reputable diving insurance companies like DAN, Dive Assist, or Dive Assure, depending on the courses they choose.
By making a reservation with us, you agree to the policy outlined above.
