Training in open water for our Courses takes place in a comfortable environment. The lake is a more stable and predictable environment than an ocean location, which allows for a better teaching experience.


Sidemount Divers are available to anyone who is at least 18 years of age and has logged at least 30 dives. You should also hold a PADI Enriched A Diver certification.

How Can I Scuba Dive Cheaply

How Can I Scuba Dive Cheaply



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.

How Much Does Open Water Scuba Certification Cost



Over a decade ago, we started diving and fell in love with it. After our first dive off the regulator in the pool, it was clear that this was going be a passion. Before we went to the Sea of Cortez to do our check-dive, all of our gear was purchased. We knew that we wanted to return to Mexico for another dive trip after our check-in weekend. Our first year of diving in panama saw us log over 100 dives. We were so passionate about diving that we decided to share it with others.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach is the best choice because we are divers first and instructors second. Although we are mentors and instructors, our diving is the most important thing. Too many instructors get too involved in teaching that they don't dive with their students. We are not like that! We made a deal with ourselves to never do more training dives per month than we did our own dives. We also made a promise to spend at least twice as long in the water training than doing our own dives. This will ensure that we don't lose sight of the goal to provide excellent dive instruction. Our students also benefit from our long-term mentoring relationships. Many of our students became our dive buddies, and they have continued to support us in our survey and exploration projects in Florida and Mexico.
