SIDEMOUNT TRAINING - DAY ONE

Sidemount training Day One out of a minimum of 4 is the configuration and assessment day...half dry and half spent underwater making sure we can move on from there and be comfortable enough to focus on skills. It is the introduction to Donning/ Doffing techniques on the surface, weight, trim and buoyancy check, evaluation of student's level comfort overall in and out of the water, introduction to propulsion techniques, the understanding of basic hand placements which are essential to this configuration. It is always a long but rewarding day.
