Going SideMount!…

I turned to SideMount Diving!

With my cave diving advancing, I thought it was appropriate to switch to SideMount configuration! Not necessarily to squeeze into tight cave restrictions, but for easier access to caves. With this configuration I could now reach complicated cave entrances by even abseiling and ascending ropes.

I bought all the equipment and did an online course months ago, and have been practising at home, but I then booked the course with my cave diving instructor in Spain. We did a number of SideMount open water training dives, before completing my final dive at the Cueva Del Agua Cave, with SideMount configuration and multistage use too.

Besides the SideMount course, I managed to complete my Cave DPV training and course too.

Below is a video of my SideMounted Cave Dive at Cueva Del Agua:
