Computer-aided instruction forms an integral part of most courses we teach. Why? The reason is simple. eLearning helps students get in the water earlier and spend more of their time there. That is why we charge no additional for any applicable online eLearning programs. These are typically $140. This can translate into an additional day in-water instruction. That is how valuable it is. Priceless.

Note that qualifying certifications from other diver training organizations may apply - ask your Tec Sidemount PCB Instructor.

It made so much fun and I enjoyed every single minute of it. Seeing your dedication and experience is simply amazing. You pay attention to the smallest details and you are always striving to improve things even further. I also love your enthusiasm to capture all those details, new equipment, new methods, hints etc. with the camera to be able to include them in upcoming videos to the benefit of everyone. Speaking of your online training videos I must say that they are a class of its own. They definitely get you well-prepared for the things you need to know during the in-water training and I think that exactly this concept is the key to the steep learning curve because the time underwater can be used efficiently. Thank you so much for everything Steve! Cheers, Nils read less

Sidemounting is something I haven't tried before. However, from watching his video training online, I knew Steve was the best man to teach me this skill and give me confidence about it. I was not wrong! It was truly life-changing! Sidemount PCB Essentials was beyond my expectations. Steve is a great teacher. He is patient and gives a lot of his time. I was absolutely right! It was truly life-changing! Sidemount PCB Essentials was beyond my expectations. Steve is an excellent teacher. He's patient, hardworking and puts in a lot to every lesson he gives. Everything is planned and done with great attention to detail. It was an unforgettable and enjoyable experience. Sidemount PCB Essentials Course completely transformed my diving. In a matter of a few weeks, my awareness level and skills were higher than I could have ever imagined. Everything is in place: your harness set-up, your weight and position, the trim of the cylinder, and your overall balance in the water. This gives you the feeling of true sidemount setup, with no back pain and makes you feel more confident and relaxed. This course was difficult but enjoyable. Every day started with a planning and theoretical session. Each day ends with a video review and discussion about the drills we performed in the water. The learning curve was steepened because we had a tendency to drain our cylinders whenever we were in the water. All was handled with professionalism and in a comfortable, safe environment. Steve will make this course easy for you. Steve will help to make you a better diver! read less
