I paid around $130. for the sidemount classes.I was just on the site and really couldn't get a feel for the pricing. What are you guys paying?
Depends on how many classes you buy. Really worth it if you are just starting out, especially if you don't have a great local instructor.NVM, so about $440 to sign up.
I like to learn. It's why I'm here. I'm having back surgery next week, so I'm gonna polish off my SM harness.Probably not worth it for you, lol.
Half the credit goes to the other instructor in the videos. Between them they have produced the best scuba instructional videos I have seen yet. Not perfect, I disagree a a couple minor points and some of it is repetitive, but solid. There is none of the usual fluff that clutters up instructional videos, it is almost all meat.Wow that's an unusual number of glowing endorsements for something that sounds like it would be controversial. I don't even want to learn sidemount but now I'm curious how good this guy's videos are.
If you're just getting started, the videos are worth a solid a day of in person training from a good instructor. The fact that you can go back an review things as you need really pays off.I like to learn. It's why I'm here. I'm having back surgery next week, so I'm gonna polish off my SM harness.
Unless you're looking to get the instructor series, it's ~$250 USD for all the coursesNVM, so about $440 to sign up.
