Tec Sidemount offers the same benefits as the PADI Sidemount course but gives you the opportunity to dive with 2 plus cylinders for extended dive times, and is a prerequisite if following Tec courses with sidemount configuration.

We offer the possibility to integrate this course with the PADI Tec 40, Tec 45 or Tec 50 courses.
