Sidemount at Zwenkauer See: Two Days to a New Underwater Perspective.
On the shores of Zwenkauer See, the Sidemount Diver course reframes what comfortable, safe recreational diving can look like. Taught over two days, the program replaces a single back-mounted cylinder with one or two tanks clipped at the sides, a configuration that changes movement underwater and how you approach buoyancy and trim.
