The Extended Range Sidemount program trains you to dive in a sidemount configuration, and the techniques required to use multiple stage cylinders carried for decompression diving efficiently and effectively. You will earn the SSI Extended Range Sidemount certification after completing this program and can then apply that configuration to all other extended range programs.

Prerequisites​

• Open Water Diver certification​

• Own a Sidemount Extended Range Total Diving System

* If completing the Extended Range Sidemount upgrade certification, then Recreational Sidemount certification is also required.

Medical Clearance

Each student participating in Extended Range training must provide a Medical Participant Questionnaire, approved and signed by a licensed medical practioner based on a diving medical examination and dated within one year of the training completion date, prior to any in-water activity. This form will be sent to you following registration and needs to be completed prior to your first session, including physician approval. If you do not receive medical clearance from your physician for whatever reason, then we will issue a full refund for the course.
