JOIN SIDEMOUNT SOCIETY FOR GUIDED DIVING ON THE BEAUTIFUL MEDITERRANEAN ISLAND OF GOZO – A DIVERS PLAYGROUND WITH 30+ SHORE DIVES ALL ACCESSIBLE BY CAR OR SHORT BOAT RIDE TO THE NEIGHBOURING ISLANDS OF COMINO & MALTA.
Interested in diving with us?
Diving highlights include admiring Gozos’ many caves & tunnels with their electric blue backdrops, visiting the island’s famous wrecks & exploring fascinating geological formations & pinnacles. Let’s not forget the infamous Blue Hole with its Azure Alps, the remainder of the mighty Azure Window which collapsed in a storm in 2017.
Maximum 4 divers to a group means no fighting for space above or below water.
Your tour of Gozo will start with a check dive to make sure that you are ready, weighted, and sorted for the dives ahead (if needed).
Gozo may be a tiny island but it packs a diving punch. When the wind blows North, we dive South, when the wind blows South we dive North. It’s a rare day when there’s no good diving somewhere on the island!
Of course, your diving experiences in Gozo, Malta and Comino can be captured in photos or videos. See our gallery for inspiration. Book a photoshoot or check out our gallery for inspiration!
Dive with an instructor who eats, breathes and sleeps sidemount.
Here, Sidemount is not just another course among hundreds of courses - it’s the main event! We exceed all agency standards and make sure you don’t leave the course as a liability on dive sites and boats.
We choose quality over quantity any day!
Small group sizes. 2 divers max per course, 4 divers max per guided dive. Without a doubt, the smaller the group the better the experience.
Courses are completely tailored to you, your needs and your diving preferences.
Perhaps you want to dive sidemount in a drysuit with steels or on holiday in the tropics with a wetsuit and Ali’s. We’ll make sure you’re confident and ready for anything.
Learn to sidemount efficiently and safely by focusing on entries, exits and emergency drills.
Diving in sidemount configuration requires extra consideration for keeping yourself and others safe and taking care of emergencies. Become an asset to any dive team by enhancing and practicing your Rescue skills.
Learn skills and procedures at the right level and become fully competent.
Save yourself months of frustration. Many divers take a sidemount course that is far too basic and leaves them with massive gaps in their knowledge and skills. Don’t be that diver. We have invested in our own diving skills and education and we use this base to teach to the highest level.
It is recommended that you purchase and travel with your own sidemount equipment. Some dive centres are unfamiliar with sidemount and will not have sidemount equipment for hire.
Yes. Sidemount is suitable on boats. You should be confident with donning and doffing techniques and be self-sufficient as many boat crews are still unfamiliar with this configuration.
Yes, Sidemount is suitable in most diving environments and is extremely versatile. Once you have your training, kit, and a few basic tools, you can sidemount anywhere using any cylinders.
Most divers use aluminium cylinders with a wetsuit or steels with a drysuit. Cylinders with opposing valves are optimal, but not essential. It is recommended to check availability prior to travel.
Yes. DPVs are widely available for hire. Sidemount is suited for DPV diving as the diver’s profile is streamlined, resulting in less drag. Sidemount offers extra gas for longer dives and exploration.
Gozo and Malta dive sites are easily accessible from shore or by small boat. Some sites require longer walks to the entrance or ladder exits. It is an excellent place to practise entrance and exit techniques.
Sidemount is great for both wetsuit and drysuit diving. In the tropics, aluminium cylinders and wetsuits are most common. In colder climates, steel cylinders and drysuits are preferable.
