This idea seems to work. To serve the gear needs and customers of the boat, it opened a dive store. The shop has grown to include a training and retail facility. You can shop at the shop to learn how to dive or plan your next diving adventure.


Our dive center offers full-service diving with nearly 15,000 square feet of Nitrox Banked and Trimix, as well as oxygen banked. We are also able to provide custom scuba fills. For an appointment, call Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach

We became Open Water Scuba Instructors through the Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) over a decade ago with over 200 dives each. Since then we have been actively teaching throughout Arizona, Florida, Mexico, New Jersey, and Southern California. We were both able to earn our PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating less than a year after becoming independent instructors and teaching several specialty courses. We average over 150 dives each year. Most of our dives last over an hour.

Sidemount Technical Diving Guide





We began diving over a decade ago and quickly fell in love with the sport. It became apparent after that first breath off a regulator in the pool that this was going to be a passion. We bought all of our gear before we even headed to the Sea of Cortez for our checkout dives! After returning from our checkout dive weekend, we knew we couldn’t wait for another trip to Mexico to dive again. We started diving the waters of Panama and ended up logging over 100 dives our first year as divers. Our passion for diving had taken us over so much that we decided we wanted to help pass it along to others.

Open water training for our Courses is done in a conducive environment. The lake provides a more stable and predictable teaching environment which is not affected by the weather problems we might face if using an ocean location.
