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.
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.
You’ll learn about the advantages of diving with a sidemount configuration and how to set up a tec sidemount harness. You’ll get hands-on training during one confined water session and four open water dives where you’ll start with two tanks and add at least two more, maybe even getting to six side-mounted cylinders.
We offer all levels of training, from advanced to beginner diver, and rescue courses. Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach is now!
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.
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.
This program is a cost-savings for both retailers and instructors. It doesn't require multiple sets of materials to be taught the same course to different audiences.
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).
