We believe that diving training should include more than learning how to deal with any problems. Although that is an important part, we also ensure you are competent enough to dive once you have completed your training. This is true of all our courses from Open Water to the Technical. Not only will you learn how to survive in the water, but also how to dive. You won't always be able dive in an area where you can get to your knees in case of an emergency. You must be able to handle any issues in the water. We teach this.
Our teaching philosophy is simple, We are mentors first, instructors second. We don’t only teach diving, we are out there doing the dives. We are here to answer your questions and act as a resource for you. We may not know every answer, but we will direct you to someone who can help you. We want to help you grow your diving experience and knowledge. When choosing an instructor, make sure that instructor hasn’t just paid for an instructor rating and been given the rating. Make sure that instructor has current experience diving what he/she is teaching.
Tech Sidemount skills include gas switching, gas management, gas switching staged ascents and valve drills.
We offer all levels of training, from advanced to beginner diver to emergency rescue courses. Contact Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach today!
