I am new to side Mount diving and started listening to this podcast to just learn more about diving this way. Now I love this podcast and can't get enough of it I've just been cruising through the backlog and I'm catching up quickly. I cannot recommend this podcast enough to everyone who wants to learn about diving side mount or already dive side mount.

Love this. As someone wanting to get into Sidemount this is a fantastic resource. Lots of big names in Sidemount plus useful information on how to dive the configuration. Steve’s manner is easy to listen to and he gets the right mix of factual, humour and personal
