We’re Your Sidemounting Headquarters
If your mother knew you were still backmounting, she’d worry about you. She’d worry about you causing long-term injury to your back. She’d worry about what you’d do in the event of a catastrophic manifold failure. She’d worry about you getting stuck in tight places.
Do your mom a favor. Discover sidemounting — the “other white meat” of cave diving configurations. If you can do it in backmount, you can do it in sidemount — and with a lot less risk of injury.
At Cave Diver Harry’s, we’re sidemounting experts, and experts in the revolutionary Dive Rite Nomad, the most versatile and configurable sidemount harness anywhere.
We can help show you how to get the Nomad set up in a way that works best for you. Our one-day Sidemount Orientation Program is a great place to start.
If there are any questions we can answer, please contact us.
What Brings You By?
If you are reading this, it’s most likely because:
- A friend, family member or past instructor found out you wanted to become a certified cave diver, and insisted that I was the person to see about getting your Cave Diver certification.
- You heard that, when it comes to learning sidemount, we are the folks to see.
- You are an instructor and cave diver who has decided you want to earn your NSS-CDS Instructor rating (as opposed to simply buying it from someone else), and you heard that, as an NSS-CDS Instructor Sponsor, I was The Guy.
In any case, you’ve come to the right place. But first, a couple things you need to know:
- In addition to all this cave diving stuff, I’m a managing partner in the web design and consulting firm Sinulogic LLC. (In fact, I put this website together as much as a design example as it is a means to provide information to students.) Fortunately, my work gives me the flexibility to not only go cave diving regularly, but also to teach cave diving courses.
- My goal, however, is not to spend all my time trying to teach everyone and his dog to be a cave diver. We don’t need more cave divers. What we need are better cave divers — and better cave diving instructors. That’s worth investing a little quality time doing.
What I’m especially concerned with is the generation of cave diving educators who will take over when the current crowd hangs up its reels. Believe it or not, many of us are pushing 60; we can’t do this forever. Both my kids cave dive. It would be nice if they could pass on to their kids some caves that weren’t totally trashed.
