Zbigniew Walkowiak –
When I started diving with one tank, I always lacked air to be able to dive deeper and longer, so I had two options: sidmount or twin set. And I have to admit that I tried both, but sidmount was the best for me, first of all I didn’t have to carry it on my back, secondly I feel more comfortable in sidmount, it’s easier to catch the trim, it’s easier to get to the valves and most of all nothing restricts my head to look around for my buddy.
I highly recommend it

I did enjoy Sidemount Diver course with Sebastian a lot! It is work and intensive 3 day course. The theory session is packed with wider context and technical info as well as so very useful practical advice for personalised choice in configuration. Sebastian is an attentive, friendly and ambitious instructor strongly focused on every detail, with streamline approach and effectiveness with safety first. The practical sessions will build your muscle memory and fast reactions in potential scenarios with plenty of drill exercises. Sebastian has structured the lessons with clear aim of not only guaranteeing the standard procedures required for recreational diving, but he is also showcasing the new possibilities that sidemount brings into your diving. Sidemount is a beautiful set up that allows you great control over your buoyancy and equipment, gives you independence as well as flexible movement in the water when enjoying wrecks, caves etc. Sebastian has loads of experience in sidemount diving and he is very passionate about downloading all the priceless tips into your brain! You will also get nice photos and videos with invaluable feedback. I definitely recommend.

If you’re looking to learn to dive or take your skills to the next level, No-Gravity Divers is the place to go. The course I attended was well-structured and professionally delivered. The theory module was clear and detailed, followed by two days of diving at Stoney Cove with four dives in total. By the end, I felt confident in switching from a single tank to sidemount.
Sebastian, an experienced cave diver, provided valuable feedback after each dive, which helped me improve my understanding and handling of the new setup. The course also covered emergency scenarios and rescue drills, making it a comprehensive learning experience.
Overall, it’s excellent value for money, and I’ll definitely be back for the advanced course!
