The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver program is far more than just another “how to” book on sidemount diving. It’s a complete, comprehensive set of training materials designed to work together to make learning and teaching sidemount diving easy.
Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach, a PADI/NAUI dive center. All courses are available, from Discover Scuba to Dive Master. We have everything you need, whether you're a beginner or an experienced diver looking to improve your skills. You can take the Advanced Open Water Course, the Enriched Air Diver or any other specialty course with our friendly and experienced instructors to improve your diving skills.
Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach has been built to serve as a clubhouse. The clubhouse serves as the central point of a divers community and is a place for divers to come together to plan their next adventure. All are invited. The basic idea behind our expansion is that the status of things isn't good enough. We constantly looked at the systems that are used in diving business and asked if they were safe, efficient, and fun.
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.
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.
Our Courses are open water training in a conducive environment. The lake offers a stable, predictable environment that isn't affected by weather conditions.
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).
