From your first sidemount dive to trimix exploration — every course built around the principles that actually matter underwater.All training based out of Florida but I can travel to your location
Master the fundamentals of sidemount configuration. This course covers harness setup, cylinder mounting, buoyancy, trim, and propulsion — everything you need to dive sidemount confidently in open water. This is taught via RAID standards but using the AXIS Method that I developed.
This is here to help you become a better sidemount diver. We can work on making small changes to your system, do skills practice, refine propulsion techniques or anything else you feel you want to improve. I prefer to do an in-water assessment prior to starting the workshop but am willing to do a video review as well. All of this will be done via the AXIS Method. This can be a one day workshop or a week-long intensive, it is up to you and the goals you want to achieve.
Decompression procedures, stage cylinder management, and advanced gas planning — all in the sidemount configuration. This is a 40m course on air or nitrox or a 45m course on air, nitrox or trimix. END/EAD is 30m. Student Prerequisites: Min of 18 years old. A RAID Open Water and Deep 40 diver or RAID Advanced 35 (or equivalent) diver. Certified Nitrox Diver. Minimum of 50 dives (RAID standard states 25 but my standard is 50)
Full technical trimix training in sidemount configuration. Deep decompression dives, helium gas mixes, and the comprehensive skill set required for deep technical exploration.
Already trained in backmount technical diving? This crossover programme translates your existing skills into the sidemount configuration efficiently — no backtracking, no repeated theory.
The RAID Advanced Decompression course is designed for experienced divers seeking to safely extend their depth limits and manage complex, multi-stage decompression. It certifies divers to depths of up to 50 meters (165 feet), utilizing air, nitrox, or trimix alongside dual decompression gases to optimize off-gassing. Student Prerequisites: Certified Sidemount Decompression Diver and Rescue Diver. Current First Aid, CPR and Oxygen Administration training. Minimum of 100 dives (RAID standard says 50) with at least 10 between 30-40 meters/ 100-130 feet
