SSI Basic Sidemount is an excellent introduction to diving in a sidemount configuration using two independently mounted side cylinders. You will learn the fundamentals of equipment setup, diving techniques, and procedures that improve comfort, safety, and control underwate

**SSI Extended Range Sidemount** is the natural next step after the Basic Sidemount course. You will learn how to use additional stage cylinders, manage larger gas volumes, and safely operate in a configuration of up to four cylinders. This is not a decompression diving course, but rather a program designed to develop the skills and procedures that form the foundation for further technical diving training.

Multi Stage Sidemount Workshop is designed for divers who want to expand their skills beyond traditional four-cylinder configurations. During the workshop, you will learn how to configure, organize, and safely manage setups involving five or six cylinders, preparing you for more advanced technical, trimix, exploration, or cave diving activities.

Two-day Sidemount Precision Protocol Refresher Workshop is designed for Sidemount Silesia graduates who want to refresh procedures, refine their technique, and maintain a high level of diving proficiency after completing their training.

Bailout Sidemount Workshop is a one-day workshop designed for CCR divers using either backmount or sidemount rebreathers. The program focuses on configuring, positioning, and optimizing sidemount bailout cylinders to achieve maximum comfort, accessibility, and hydrodynamic efficiency underwater.

**SSI Extended Range** prepares divers to plan and conduct decompression dives to a maximum depth of 45 meters using a single decompression gas containing up to 100% oxygen. The course develops technical diving skills, decompression procedures, and gas management techniques in either a Twinset or Extended Range Sidemount configuration.

**SSI Technical Extended Range** prepares divers to plan and conduct advanced decompression dives to a maximum depth of 50 meters using air as the bottom gas and two decompression gases. The course develops advanced gas management, decompression procedures, and technical diving skills, serving as a natural progression between Extended Range and Trimix training.

**SSI Technical Extended Range Trimix** prepares divers to plan and conduct advanced decompression dives to a maximum depth of 60 meters using trimix as the bottom gas and two decompression gases. The course develops advanced gas management, decompression procedures, and technical diving skills required for deep dives conducted in either a Twinset or Extended Range Sidemount configuration.

**SSI Recreational Sidemount Specialty Instructor Seminar** prepares instructors to independently conduct SSI Recreational Sidemount courses. The program focuses on instructional-quality skill demonstrations, SSI standards, teaching methodology, and the effective delivery of both academic and practical course components.

**SSI Extended Range Sidemount Instructor Seminar** prepares instructors to teach SSI Extended Range Sidemount courses. The program focuses on instructor-level skill demonstrations, SSI XR standards, and the delivery of both academic and practical training according to the requirements of the SSI Extended Range Sidemount program.
