PADI Sidemount Course in Tenerife
Experience a New Level of Freedom and Comfort Underwater
Are you a certified diver looking for something different, more comfortable, and adventurous? The PADI Sidemount Diver course with Scubafriends Tenerife is the evolution you’ve been waiting for.
Forget the heavy tank on your back. By moving the cylinders to your sides, you’ll improve your balance, reduce physical strain, and gain easier access to caves and wrecks. Explore Tenerife’s spectacular volcanic reefs with a completely new perspective in crystal-clear waters.
Why Dive Sidemount?
Unlike traditional backmount configuration, Sidemount involves carrying two independent tanks at your sides. Originally developed for cave diving, it has become the top choice for recreational divers due to its incredible benefits:
• Ultimate Comfort: Ideal if you have back issues or prefer not to carry heavy gear on your shoulders while walking to the entry point.
• Perfect Trim: Effortlessly achieve a horizontal, streamlined position in the water.
• Safety & Redundancy: You have two independent air sources with valves and regulators always visible and within reach.
• Improved Air Consumption: Better hydrodynamics often lead to longer, more relaxed dives.
• Flexibility: Perfect for exploring swim-throughs, wrecks, and Tenerife’s unique volcanic caverns.
