Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach was founded as a clubhouse. A clubhouse is the central hub for divers. It allows them to get together, plan their next adventure, and act as a resource to help others. All are welcome. Our expansion was based on the belief that the status quo is not sufficient. We've been constantly examining the systems in place for diving, and have asked ourselves if they are safe, efficient, and fun for both the customer and the diving community.
You will learn the benefits of diving with a sidemount setup and how to create a tec-sidemount harness. Practical training will take place in one confined-water session and four open-water dives. You'll begin with two tanks and expand to at least two additional tanks.
This course covers technical sidemount diving skills and equipment. It includes classroom workshops as well as three days of in-water skill development.
It seems that this idea works. To support its patrons' gear needs, the boat opened a dive shop. The shop has since grown to be a complete retail and training facility. The shop is a great place to start your diving journey.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach: We are divers first and instructors last. We are also instructors and mentors. However, that is secondary to our diving. Too many instructors become too involved in teaching, and end up not diving with students. This is not what we do! We made a commitment to ourselves that we would never do more training diving in a month than what we did for our own dives. We have also committed to spending at least twice the time on our own diving than we do training. This will ensure we are always able to give the best possible dive instruction. Long-term mentoring relationships are also established with our students. Many of our students have become dive buddies and helped us with our surveys and explorations in Florida and Mexico.
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.
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).
