Technical Sidemount Diving


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.

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.

Sidemount Diver's new course materials are time-saving for instructors and retailers. They don't have to search through multiple sources to put together the course materials, nor do they have to spend the time to create their own exams, quizzes and other teaching tools. They don't have to explain to customers and students why eLearning isn't available for this course.
