Specialty Sidemount Diver in Koh Lanta

Thanks to the Sidemount Diver specialty, here in Koh Lanta, explore the underwater world in another way.
Indeed, having the scuba tanks mounted on your back is not a requirement for exploring the underwater world. Many divers have discovered the fun of side mounting scuba tanks. In other words, side configuration diving gives you options for versatility and hydrodynamics. Also, you don’t have to walk with heavy bottles on your back.
In fact, all you have to do is get in the water, attach the bottles to your equipment and start diving.
