the biggest difference is the side-mount harness it keeps the blader close to the body and has additional D rings or a butt plate to attach the cylinders. The cylinders are ordinary SCUBA tanks just rigged a bit differently. If you're going to do the course the diver centre should have everything.
You don't need to do it as a tech course I think most agencies can do recreational side-mount, SDI and PADI definitely do.
