Official Razor Diver Courses

DZD is part of the exclusive Razor Official Instructors Team

Take your first steps into the world of side-mount diving, and join the growing community of Razor divers!

The program is designed for divers using the Razor System and was developed by its creator, Steve Bogaerts. It offers divers a specific and integrated training with the Razor System.

DZD is proud to be part of the exclusive Razor Official Instructors Team.

The Razor Side Mount System is a complete integrated system designed specifically for side mount diving. It can be used for both technical and sport diving, with any kind of cylinders or thermal protection.

The development and testing process of the Razor Side Mount System has taken many years and hundreds of dives in some of the most demanding environment, with most dives being conducted in caves by the world’s most experienced side mount diver and cave explorer, Steve Bogaerts and his partner Hp Hartmann. “Necessity is the mother of invention.”

GoSideMount is an unofficial training agency created by Steve Bogaerts and Hp Hartmann. It is born of the desire to provide divers with a refined and specific training in the use of side mount configuration with the Razor System.

Students will be certified from a recognised agency, TDI, and will cover all its standards. The Razor Official Courses will go well beyond this by teaching the specific configuration, gas management, manipulations and protocols of the “bogaertian” integrated course.
