Dive In’s  feature diving for 2017 is Sidemount and Alex will be available to teach you how to get the very best from Sidemount diving. He will teach you all about the many benefits of diving with Sidemount, homing in on your existing diving skills, and perfecting them whilst having fun.

Sidemount

Your will learn how to;

  • Properly assemble and set up your Sidemount scuba diving equipment, correctly, safely and comfortably. By carrying your tanks on your sides instead of your back it will reduce drag making your dives more comfortable.
  • Trim your weight system and Sidemount gear so you’re perfectly balanced in the water.
  • Manage gas by switching second stages as planned, if wearing two cylinders.
  • Respond correctly to potential problems when Sidemount diving. For example if you plan to use Sidemount for a boat dive he will best advise you in making sure you will be able to quickly secure and release tanks on a moving platform or in choppy conditions.

No excuses! Sidemount is suitable for recreational scuba diving, so contact us today to find out how you can book, and gain your specialty in Sidemount Diving and get the best out of your dives!

 

Get credit! The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive towards your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

Why not combine the Sidemount Course with an Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) Course to get the most benefits of this way of diving, extending your bottom time.

Edible Six Pack Rings Could Save Marine Animals

Diving Blog

What a fantastic idea!!

Saltwater Brewery a small craft beer brand in Florida whose primary target are surfers fishermen and people who love the sea, has come up with an idea that could save the lives of marine animals around the world: biodegradable and edible six-pack rings.
We have got used to seeing tragic pictures of birds, otters, turtles, and fish stuck in plastic six-pack rings that slowly kill them after getting wrapped around their necks when humans chuck them in the ocean or lose them on the beach.

Saltwater Brewery’s product makes it easy for animals to simply chew them off and even eat them. Even better, the rings are created from a by-product of the beer-making process meaning that they are not only completely safe for fish to eat, but they are completely sustainable and biodegradable, too.

If nothing eats them, they simply dissolve!

As with many environmentally friendly products, the edible six-pack rings are more expensive to produce. Saltwater Brewery is working to add the rings to all of their canned products, and ideally they will share the technology with other breweries and drink makers, so the future will be littered with less plastic.
