You don't need to worry about how all this will work. The course includes learning how to set-up your Sidemount equipment, as well as how to measure and adjust clips and bungees so that your tanks are in perfect trim. You will have your instructor to assist you in all aspects.
Technical diving can be defined as being exposed to a ceiling that prevents a diver from ascending to the surface during a dive. This could be caused by a ceiling (in terms of a cave, a wreck, etc.) or a virtual ceiling that is created by a decompression duty. To avoid decompression sickness, it is necessary to perform mandatory decompression stops on ascent if you exceed the NDL. This requires special equipment such as a Twinset or Sidemount. Special equipment such as Twinsets and Sidemounts, gas mixtures with special properties, and additional training are required to be able perform the stops on ascent accurately to maximize Nitrogen off-gassing.

International Training, parent organization to Technical Diving International / Scuba Diving International (TDI), and Technical Diving International / Scuba Diving International - offers both TDI and SDI versions of the Sidemount Diver course. Both courses have a lot in common. Both courses use identical learning materials (which we also wrote). So, what is the difference?
Decompression divers employ oxygen mixtures of all kinds to extend their time looking at wrecks and reefs on the ocean floor. While the sport diver may get two 15 minute bottom time dives at 100ft the decompression diver can cruise around for 60 minutes or more, getting the most bang for their buck.
Technical diving is on the rise and Girls That Scuba HQ was quick to notice it! There were many questions to be answered and nerves to overcome so we decided to seek out Theresia, an Asian tech instructor. She is currently working at Blue Marlin Gili T, Lombok. She provided an introduction course in twin sets, and allowed us to dive into technical diving. Here's her lesson:
