PADI Open Water Side Mount Diver is the newest specialty PADI Offers.  Be one of the first to explore this new certification.

With this certification you will be able to manage multiple scuba cylinders above the water and below.  This increases safety having multiple gas sources underwater also allowing you to carry smaller cylinders to the waters edge instead of one large heavy cylinder.  In addition to the ease of transporting gear, underwater we will focus on trim and new skills.
