Can sidemount be used during courses?
To participate in the Sidemount Adventure Dive and NovoScuba Sidemount courses, student divers and qualified instructors must use a sidemount configuration.
The related Instructor guides should be consulted for specific requirements.
The NovoScuba Sidemount Diver course can be taken alongside the NovoScuba Independent Diver course, as explained in the Linking Courses section.
As long as they can meet all dive performance requirements, certified Sidemount Divers can use a sidemount configuration during courses.
