PADI Sidemount Diver
Streamline your dive setup and experience a new level of freedom with the PADI Sidemount Diver course in Bali. This popular specialty allows you to mount your tanks at your sides instead of on your back, giving you better balance, easier access to your gear, and greater flexibility—perfect for longer dives and tighter environments.
Bali is the ideal location to learn sidemount diving, with calm reef sites for skill development and more advanced dive environments like the USAT Liberty wreck or deep walls of Nusa Penida where sidemount really shines. In this course, you’ll learn how to configure your gear, manage multiple tanks, and improve your buoyancy and streamlining techniques.
Whether you’re aiming for technical diving or just want a more comfortable and efficient dive profile, the PADI Sidemount Diver course in Bali equips you with skills that enhance both safety and enjoyment underwater.
