The XR Explorers Difference: The DIR Advantage
Sidemount diving at the technical level requires flawless execution. We teach this course using the DIR (Doing It Right) philosophy to ensure maximum streamlining. You will demonstrate various propulsion techniques: frog kick, modified frog kick, modified flutter kick, backwards kick, helicopter turns, and hand pulling if appropriate for the environment. You will also demonstrate the ability to perform the following exercises while maintaining trim and buoyancy in the water column: unclipping and attaching Sidemount cylinders. Furthermore, all your course dives will be conducted using Nitrox 32% gas at no additional charge, ensuring safer physiological profiles and longer bottom times.
