Sidemount Pros will provide the sidemount harness, as well the hardware necessary for setting up your sidemounts. This equipment is customized specifically for you and will be available to purchase if necessary.
The new Sidemount Diver course materials save retailers and instructors time, as they don’t need to go to several different sources to assemble the materials needed to teach a comprehensive course, nor do they need to take the time necessary to come up with their own quizzes, exams and similar teaching tools. Further, they do not have to explain to students and customers why eLearning is not available for this course because it is.
We have a full service dive center with almost 15,000 cubic feet of 30% Nitrox banked as well as banked Trimix and oxygen. We can also provide any custom scuba fill. Call Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach for an appointment.
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 this 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.
Our teaching philosophy has always been simple. We believe in mentors first and instructors second. We don't just teach diving; we go out and do the diving. We are available to answer any questions you may have and provide assistance. We might not know all the answers but we will help you find someone. We want to make your diving more enjoyable and better. Be sure to verify that the instructor has not been paid for a rating and given the rating. Be sure to check that the instructor has experience in teaching the sport.
The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver book is not just another book on sidemount divers. It includes a complete and comprehensive collection of training materials, all designed to be combined to make sidemount dive learning and teaching easy.
