It seems that this idea works. To support its patrons' gear needs, the boat opened a dive shop. The shop has since grown to be a complete retail and training facility. The shop is a great place to start your diving journey.

Confined Spaces



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.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach: We are divers first and instructors last. We are also instructors and mentors. However, that is secondary to our diving. Too many instructors become too involved in teaching, and end up not diving with students. This is not what we do! We made a commitment to ourselves that we would never do more training diving in a month than what we did for our own dives. We have also committed to spending at least twice the time on our own diving than we do training. This will ensure we are always able to give the best possible dive instruction. Long-term mentoring relationships are also established with our students. Many of our students have become dive buddies and helped us with our surveys and explorations in Florida and Mexico.
