This course covers technical sidemount diving skills and equipment. It includes classroom workshops as well as three days of in-water skill development.
We became Open Water Scuba Instructors through the Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) over a decade ago with over 200 dives each. Since then we have been actively teaching throughout Arizona, Florida, Mexico, New Jersey, and Southern California. We were both able to earn our PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating less than a year after becoming independent instructors and teaching several specialty courses. We average over 150 dives each year. Most of our dives last over an hour.
Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach, we are divers first. Instructors second. Yes, we are mentors and instructors but that's secondary to our diving. Too many instructors get so involved in teaching that they forget to teach their students. We won't let that happen! We have made a vow to ourselves not to do more than our own training dives each month. We have also agreed to spend at most twice as many hours in the water on our own training dives as we do on our own. This will ensure we never lose sight of our goal of providing excellent diving instruction. It is also a great way to build long-term mentorship relationships with your students. Many of our divers have become our dive buddies.

The driving idea behind Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach is essentially to be a clubhouse. The central hub of a community of divers and a place for them to meet up, plan their next adventure and be a resource to further the knowledge and safety of that community. All are welcome. The fundamental idea that has driven our expansion has been that the status quo is not good enough. We have continuously looked at the systems at work in the business of diving and questioned if they are safe, efficient and FUN for the customer and the diving community.
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).
