The History of Sidemount Diving<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The history of sidemount diving<\/a> is fascinating and learning about it can help divers to understand how the different principles of sidemount gear configuration evolved. Sidemount began originally in the UK as a specialist technique used in sump exploration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the 1970s it had emigrated across the Atlantic and began to be used within the Mexican and Florida cave-diving communities. In 2012 sidemount went mainstream when it was adopted by many of the large recreational dive training agencies as a specialty course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the last decade, it has surged in popularity across the globe and has become an active community on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
