Sidemount is one of the next things on my dive to-do/to-try list. I'm planning on taking Tec 40 sometime later this summer, and while I know it can be done in a single tank, if I progress further, I know doubles will be involved at some point, in some form, so I'm thinking I'd want to do Tec 40 in sidemount. Common sense tells me I'd need some sidemount training first... Trying to find out what's involved and the differences between Sidemount Diver and Tec Sidemount, the padi site doesn't really say much at all. Can anybody tell me what's involved in the courses and what extra is covered in the tech version that's not in the recreational course? I would ask the instructor who I'll probably get the training from, but he's out of town and my inquiring mind is impatient.
