Steve Martin Completes His Sidemount Online Training Video Series
Steve Martin, one of the world’s leading sidemount diving instructors, has completed his Online Sidemount Essentials training video series with the release of an 8 hour video on Underwater Skills and Development.
The complete series consists of six parts, with 4 different package options:
- Video 1 – Cylinder Workshop Configuration (1 hour)
- Video 2 – Regulator Workshops Training (1 hour)
- Video 3 – Harness & BCD Workshop Training (1.6 hours)
- Video 4 – Sidemount Essentials – Tips & Tricks (1.7 hours)
- Video 5 – Stage/Deco Cylinder Workshop Training (1 hour)
- Video 6 – Underwater Skills and Development (8 hours)
Packages: Videos 1 to 4, Videos 1 to 5, Videos 1 to 4 + 6 or the complete series Videos 1 to 5 + 6. Note: Video 5 and Video 6 are standalone products and available separately.
Steve has released 2 promotional videos which show HD video extracts from the video series and have live multiple language subtitles so you can get a preview of exactly what you are going to receive in return for your investment.
You can watch both videos here:

All video packages are available to purchase now from Steve’s website and all include complete English subtitles. Steve plans to have different subtitles available in as many languages as possible; if you are interested in a language or want to do some translation work, Steve asks you get in touch with him ASAP.
Steve tell us that in the next few months he is also going to be offering an online remote coaching service that is targeted towards those people who want training & feedback but cannot take part in one of his in-water training courses. Details of this can be found at the end of his 30 minute Underwater Skills promotional video.
“I’ve poured over seven years of experience in teaching sidemount diving courses into these videos,” said Steve. “I’m very excited and confident these online training videos will really raise the bar and take sidemount training to a whole new level. The initial uptake and feedback so far has been outstanding.
“One of the reasons I decided to make these highly detailed training videos and make them available online was because I wanted to offer a reasonably low cost option for everyone around the world to get access to this level of instruction. One of the things that’s so great about having online videos is they do not expire, can be watched as many times as you wish and can be kept for future reference as you continue to learn.”
Steve also tells us that anyone who books on any of his “in-water training courses” will get the full 100% cost of their online videos back off his course training rates, so in effect the videos are free of charge to all of his future students.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
