This physically hurts to watch.

Here's another 'sidemount course' video worthy of an educational case study. It's a VERY interesting watch...

That literally has to be a staged joke.

The new PADI Sidemount BP/W Sand ID/Fish ID Specialty? The "diver" on the right appeared to be practicing the important "lay on the bottom skill", it appears...

So, the question came up a few posts ago, what's with the dangly tanks?

I too have this question, but can see from the video, they have a horrendously big LIFT bag (not a smb), and they each have one strapped to a sidemounted tank. So, they're carrying down LIFT bags, and using a steel tank just to inflate it?

Since the 'instructor' or DM or ??? gathers them up under a LIFT bag just before the video ends?

this one..really, this is how to penetrate a wreck in sidemount? That is no mount and well outside the scope of a recreational sidemount class

Well the OOA diver did hold onto the hose with the correct hand.

This looks like a Good sidemount class

 

[cerich]

but let's be fair, what some of us think sidemount should be..other's don't.



The picture(s) chosen in this video to MY eyes display bad equipment configurations, to others obviously they feel the configuration is correct.

The primary issue here is complete lack of fundamental skills (instructor AND student). Without those fundamentals, it's pretty hard to make any real progress with Fine-tuning a configuration..
