The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver course is much more than a "how-to" book on sidemount dives. It is a comprehensive and complete collection of training materials that can be used together to teach sidemount diving.
The sport of diving was a passion of ours since we first started it over ten years ago. It was evident from the first time we took a breath on a regulator in a pool that this would be a lifelong passion. Before we left for our check-dive trip to the Sea of Cortez, all of our gear had been purchased. After returning from our checkout weekend dive, we knew we could not wait to return to Mexico and dive again. We began diving in Panama and logged more than 100 dives during our first year. We had so much fun diving that we decided to share our passion with others.
This course covers the equipment and skills for technical sidemount diving including both classroom workshops and three days of in-water skills development.
Why choose Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach?Because we’re divers first, instructors second. Yes, we are instructors and mentors, but that comes second to our diving. We’ve seen too many instructors who get over involved in teaching and they end up never diving without students. That’s not us! We have made a pact with ourselves that we will never do more training dives in a month than our own dives. We have also promised ourselves to always do at least twice as much time in the water doing our own dives as we do training dives. This plan will ensure we never get burned out on providing the best quality dive instruction we can. We also develop long term mentoring relationships with our students. Several of our students have become our dive buddies and have gone on to help us with our exploration and survey projects in Florida and Mexico.
Sidemount Diver's new course materials are time-saving for instructors and retailers. They don't have to search through multiple sources to put together the course materials, nor do they have to spend the time to create their own exams, quizzes and other teaching tools. They don't have to explain to customers and students why eLearning isn't available for this course.
Don't grab animals, don't hold them for photo ops, don't go for rides on dolphins or turtles, and don't force puffer fish to inflate (it can be fatal to them).
