With over 200 dives per year, we were certified Open Water Scuba Instructors (PADI), over a decade before. Since then, we have been active instructors in Arizona, Florida, Mexico and New Jersey. Both of us were able to obtain our PADI Master Scuba Diving Diver Trainer rating in less time than a year. In addition, we also teach several specialty courses. On average, we do over 150 dives per year. The majority of our dives last for more than an hour.
We offer full service diving, with 15,000 square feet of Nitrox banked (30% and Trimix) as well as Oxygen banked (and more). We can also supply any custom scuba refill. Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach can arrange an appointment.
This idea seems to work. The boat was able to grow a diveshop to serve its patrons. The shop has since evolved to a full-service retail and training establishment. We can help you plan your next dive adventure or learn to dive the first time.
All scuba certifications are available. We also offer check out dives. Elearn and onsite classes can be tailored to your individual needs.
Sidemount Pros will provide the sidemount harness, as well the hardware necessary for setting up your sidemounts. This equipment is customized specifically for you and will be available to purchase if necessary.
We are just trying to provide some information for potential students about technical and cave diving instructors. It may be an easy or difficult process. Both of us chose to complete the challenging task of becoming cave diving and technical dive instructor instructors.
Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach - We're divers first and instructors only second. Yes, we're instructors and mentors. But that comes after our diving. Too many instructors are too involved with teaching and don't want to dive without their students. We have seen this happen. We don't think so! We have made a promise to ourselves that we won't do more training dives than our own. We also pledged to spend at minimum twice as much time in water performing our own dives than training dives. This will ensure that we do not lose focus on giving the best dive instruction possible. In addition, we establish long-lasting mentoring relationships with our students. Many of our students are now our dive buddies. They have helped us with our survey and exploration projects in Florida, Mexico.
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).
