Sidemount intro to cave instruction

[Mako Mark]

yeah, I have to look at all this stuff again, and start playing with webbing etc.. That is if I cant bribe Curt out of one of his armadillos...lol. I can get him into a cave that he has been trying to dive for years, I guess we will see how much he wants to dive it huh?

Hi Steve!! :cheering:
Farst I say, my English level is low.
Therefore, I can use only a direct word.

So just opinion at US Agencys.
But, the C-card of Agency can not use every area and country.
To be necessary is that cave diving can be done. :58:

There is a double tank class in Japan.
Because, a few Japanese divers use a double tank.
Most Japanese divers don't know how to use a double tank.
I think that it is good to establish a side mount class, too.

A side mount is very easy. :rock_band
A balance of side mount is very good.
Most divers don't know because they has never used a side mount.

When a side mount is known, you will know a new cave.
For example,
You will know a new entrance at cow spring.
You will know a new passage at Peacock, Devil's. :banana:

How about I just know a couple "regular" ones, and when I'm done all of those, I'll do the rest

LOL

Still hope to try it one day.

When you begin a side mount, it is easy to learn a side mount from instructor.
Contents of a course are the way of making a side mount and the way of using.

The one only for the side mount is Armadillo(produces by Curt Bowen).
Many divers use the side mount made by oneself.
You can try with your old BCD.
It is pleasant to make it by yourself. :flame:

The way of making it and the way of using are to think about balance.
Up-down balance is how to make it.
Left-right balance is how to use. :lam:
