 Sidemount Diving Instructor needed for Summer of 2011

Need Sidemount Instructor for this summer of 2011. A Master Scuba Diver since Oct of "07" with 412 dives in 6 yrs, I’m Cert. in SDI Intro to Tech, SDI Solo Diver along with 12 other certs.

Diving Doubles is begining to be a real pain in the back, looking in to Sidemount diving, "wicth" isn’t for cave divers or CCR divers anymore. "Saw" a couple of videos on Dive Rite TV and said to myself "Thats for me"

Thanks, Andrew (MSD)

I am a sidemount instructor but I live pretty far from you. I’ve never tried diving with doubles on my back but I know that people who have converted to sidemount say that they will never go back. The initial set-up takes some work but it is sooooo comfortable once you are in the water.

You should look up Jeff Loflin online. He’s a PADI course director who has been doing sidemount diving forever and he has certified me and a lot of sidemount instructors. He might be able to recommend a sidemount instructor near you.
