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.


We have some additional information to offer you, potential students, about becoming a cave diving or technical diving instructor. It is not an easy job. Both of us decided to undergo the hard work of becoming technical and cave diving instructor.

Can You Scuba Dive Without Padi



Our belief is that scuba diving training should go beyond just knowing what to do if something goes wrong. This is a vital part of the training. We make sure that you have the ability to perform all the tasks in the water, and not just on your bottom. This is true for all our courses, Open Water to Technical. We teach you how and when to dive. You won't always be able to reach your knees if there is a problem. Any issues that arise in mid-water must be addressed. This is how we train you.

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.

Sdi Rescue 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 this 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.

This idea seems to work. To meet the gear needs of its customers, the boat built a dive shop. Since then, the shop has evolved into a fully-stocked retail and training center. Our shop is the perfect place to start diving lessons or plan your next adventure.
