We offer snorkeling and diving excursions twice daily, scuba instruction as well as Dive in a Day, Fishing Charters and Sunset Cruises. We offer a complete line of snorkel and scuba equipment that can be rented and purchased at our store.
The new program saves retailers and instructor money, as there is no need to invest in multiple sets of materials to teach what are, essentially, the same course, just to different audiences.
We offer a full line of training from beginner to advanced diver and emergency rescue courses. Contact Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach now!
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.
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 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.
We wanted to give you, our students, some additional information about how to become a technical diving instructor and cave diving instructor. It is not always an easy task. Both of us have chosen to go through the difficult process of becoming technical diving and cave diving instructors.
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).
