Over a decade ago, we became Open Water Scuba Instructors by the Professional Association of Dive Instructors. We have completed over 200 dives. We have been active teachers in Arizona, Florida and Mexico since then. After becoming independent instructors, we were both able earn the PADI Master Scuba Diver Instructor rating in less than one year. We also teach several specialties. Each year, we average more than 150 dives. Our dives usually last more than an hour.

How Hard Is It To Become A Cave Diver



Scuba diving training should not be limited to learning how to handle any eventualities. Although this is an important part of training, we ensure that you can do it when you're done. However, you should also be able to do it in mid-water and not at the bottom with your knees. This applies to all courses we offer, including Open Water and Technical. You will learn how to scuba dive and not how to survive underwater. It is not always possible to dive in an area that allows you to get down to the bottom if an issue occurs. It is important to be able and willing to tackle any issue in the water. That's what we teach.

Open water training for our Courses is done in a conducive environment. The lake provides a more stable and predictable teaching environment which is not affected by the weather problems we might face if using an ocean location.

Sidemount Technical Diving Forum




Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach began as a clubhouse. The central hub of a diving community, a place for divers to meet up and plan their next adventure. All are welcomed. The core idea behind our expansion has been the recognition that the status Quo is not good enough. We have constantly examined the systems used in the diving industry and tried to determine if they were safe, efficient, FUN, and safe for customers and divers.
