““I’ve just completed the TDI Side Mount Training with Aayush at this new branch of Dive Bermuda in Somerset. As I’ve come to expect from this team, I received outstanding instruction from a dedicated and enthusiastic technical diving expert. This is a challenging course that not only develops competence using the side mount configuration, but prepares you to handle calmly and safely many challenging and unexpected scenarios that you may encounter as you embark on technical diving in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed it and feel confident progressing further into this branch of diving” ”
““I went out today with Dive Bermuda Somerset, I had messaged Aayush before hand about using a sidemount set up off the boat. I typically dive sidemount off the shore but not on the boat. They were thrilled to have another sidemount diver on board.
Most of the staff is very familiar with sidemout diving and their service rose to the next level. I had forgotten a small part and Aayush crafted a spare on site, in addition, he brought out some extra safety clips for boat diving that were very helpful. Captain Arran was extremely helpful post dive and an excellent driver. Our guide Will was great at leading the way on the historic Marie Celeste and then the gorgeous maze-like swim throughs of Virginia Merchant.
Great customer service and always an eye for safety. Would recommend for anyone diving in Bermuda and if you want to sidemount dive even better.”
