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.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach is the best choice because we are divers first and instructors second. Although we are mentors and instructors, our diving is the most important thing. Too many instructors get too involved in teaching that they don't dive with their students. We are not like that! We made a deal with ourselves to never do more training dives per month than we did our own dives. We also made a promise to spend at least twice as long in the water training than doing our own dives. This will ensure that we don't lose sight of the goal to provide excellent dive instruction. Our students also benefit from our long-term mentoring relationships. Many of our students became our dive buddies, and they have continued to support us in our survey and exploration projects in Florida and Mexico.
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).
