B&W Signature Tech Discovery Premium

B&W Signature Tech Discovery Premium - Find Your Next Step

Don’t choose your configuration until you’ve dived both.

Before committing to technical training or investing in new equipment, discover how twinset and sidemount actually feel underwater.

Our Signature Tech Discovery Premium Program gives you the opportunity to experience both configurations through individual equipment fitting, personalised coaching and meaningful time in the water.

Over three days, explore the differences in balance, movement, equipment handling and practicality. Go beyond comparing equipment on paper and find out what suits you and the diving you want to do.

Two Configurations. One Personalised Experience.

Twinset: experience the balance and feel of a twinset. We’ll guide you through the backplate and wing setup, harness adjustment, cylinder positioning and long-hose regulator configuration before working on comfort, buoyancy and movement underwater.

Sidemount: discover what changes when your cylinders mount to your sides. Explore harness fitting, cylinder attachment, hose routing and an introduction to gas management, followed by in-water coaching to refine cylinder positioning, balance and movement.

Compare Through Experience

Reflect on both setups with your instructor. Discuss comfort, control, preparation and handling alongside your diving goals, travel habits and preferred environments to make an informed decision about your next step.

This is a supervised, non-certification introduction. It does not qualify you to dive a new configuration independently, conduct decompression dives or extend your existing diving qualifications or depth limits.

In-person instruction is available in English, French, Spanish and Japanese. You must be able to understand the briefing and communicate clearly with your instructor throughout the program.

Program Rate

From €660 per person for the three day program, including individual equipment fitting and coaching in both twinset and sidemount.

Duration

Allow three full days for equipment fitting, briefings, in water coaching in both configurations and debriefs.

Three days is usually sufficient, but completion within this timeframe remains at the instructor’s discretion, based on your progress and comfort. If additional time is needed, we’ll discuss the options and any associated costs with you. We’ll maximise your time in the water, with space to make adjustments, ask questions and get a meaningful feel for both setups.
