Sidemount Skills: Problems With Fine Motor Movements<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In this Sidemount<\/a> FAQ article, I will share my thoughts on experiencing problems with sidemount skills performance<\/a>; particularly fine motor movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following question was asked on a sidemount social media group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QUESTION:<\/strong> I just did my sidemount training<\/a> and I trained in a heated swimming pool. So I wasn’t wearing any gloves. Afterward, I had problems with dexterity and equipment operation because I was wearing dry gloves. Are there any tips and tricks on how to sidemount dive with dry gloves? Managing bungee, hose retainers, bolt snaps, etc seems very clearly difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANSWER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Practice!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Practice!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Practice!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Put aside the ‘equipment fixes for skillset problems’ type of advice which undoubtedly feature in the replies on social media and diving forums. People don’t like hearing that effort and motivation may be involved. It’s far more pleasing to chat about what a credit card can achieve instantly: everybody loves scuba kit shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
