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.
We have a full service dive center with almost 15,000 cubic feet of 30% Nitrox banked as well as banked Trimix and oxygen. We can also provide any custom scuba fill. Call Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach for an appointment.
Our first open water dives were over 200 each when we became Open Water Scuba Instructors with the Professional Association of Dive Instructors. Since then, our active teaching has been in Arizona and California as well as Mexico, New Jersey, Arizona, and Mexico. After becoming independent instructors, it took us less than a month to get our PADI Master Scuba Diving Trainer rating. We also taught several specialty courses. Each year we take over 150 dives. The majority of our dives last at least an hour.
