The sunset hours are a magical time to be out on the water. The sun turns golden and paints the sky in a palette of hues and colors that seem almost unreal. There is no way you cannot be taken by it. The clean ocean air, vast sky and unbelievable sunset colors will connect you with nature and give you a feeling of relaxation and happiness that most people don’t get to experience anymore. A sunset trip will help you calm your mind and let you breathe again.
Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach began as a clubhouse. The central hub of a diving community, a place for divers to meet up and plan their next adventure. All are welcomed. The core idea behind our expansion has been the recognition that the status Quo is not good enough. We have constantly examined the systems used in the diving industry and tried to determine if they were safe, efficient, FUN, and safe for customers and divers.
The new program helps save both the instructor and retailer money. There is no need for multiple sets of materials in order to teach what are essentially the same courses to different audiences.

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.
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.
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).
