TECHNICAL WRECK DIVING

Exploring an enclosed environment, such as a cave or a large wreck, is an exciting activity. However, maneuvering traditional diving equipment through the tight spaces typical of these areas can be quite a challenge. By improving hydrodynamics with a sidemount configuration, adventurous divers can explore the narrowest of spaces. The Extended Range Sidemount program teaches you how to use the sidemount configuration, as well as the techniques for effectively utilizing various stage tanks during decompression dives with this type of setup. Upon completing this program, you’ll earn the SSI Extended Range Sidemount certification, which allows you to use this configuration in all other Extended Range programs.
