Question on sidemount certification. Many agencies certifying technical divers have seen a great expansion of side mounting. It is also becoming a popular open water alternative.
I understand that the current NACD standards require that sidemount be taught only as a post-Full Cave certification. Will that continue to be the case?
Have you considered amending the standards to permit previously sidemount certified & technically trained divers to take full cave in sidemount?
Thanks.
