Sidemount Divers can be enrolled if you are at least 18 and have completed at least 30 logged dives. It is recommended that you have a PADI Enriched air Diver certification.
Our teaching philosophy is simple: We are instructors first and mentors second. We are not only instructors, but also dive. We're here to help you with your questions. Although we may not have all the answers, we can direct you to someone who does. We want to improve your diving experience and knowledge. Make sure you don't pay for an instructor rating just to get the rating. Check that the instructor is qualified to teach the diving skills he/she teaches.
This course covers both the equipment and skills required for technical sidemount dives. There are three days of in water skills development.
The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver book is not just another book on sidemount divers. It includes a complete and comprehensive collection of training materials, all designed to be combined to make sidemount dive learning and teaching easy.
We offer everything you need to learn, from basic diving skills to advanced dives and emergency rescue courses. Contact Sidemount Technical Dive Panama City Beach today!
Over a decade ago, we became Open Water Scuba Instructors by the Professional Association of Dive Instructors. We have completed over 200 dives. We have been active teachers in Arizona, Florida and Mexico since then. After becoming independent instructors, we were both able earn the PADI Master Scuba Diver Instructor rating in less than one year. We also teach several specialties. Each year, we average more than 150 dives. Our dives usually last more than an hour.
This course covers technical sidemount diving skills and equipment. It includes classroom workshops as well as three days of in-water skill development.
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).
