UTD Essentials of Technical Side Mount

UTD's Essentials of Tech/Cave/Wreck Side Mount Diving class is designed to cross over or prepare a diver to use double cylinders and/or appropriate decompression cylinders in preparation for technical training, advanced cave training or advanced wreck penetration in a side mount configuration. Essentials of Tech/Cave/Wreck Side Mount is a prerequisite for all UTD's tech, cave, and wreck classes taken in a side mount configuration.

Like all the UTD Essentials classes, Essentials of Tech/Cave/Wreck Side Mount Diving is a personal skills class. In other words, while the student is introduced to personal and team skills, emergency skills are presented in a training situation, as opposed to a surprise, critical skills situation.
