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.
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.
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.

We just wanted to provide you, our potential students, with a little additional information about the process of becoming a cave diving and technical diving instructor. It can be an easy process or not so easy process. We have both chosen to take the not so easy process of earning our cave diving and technical diving instructor ratings.
The sunset hours are a magical hour to be out on water. The sun becomes golden, and the sky is painted with colors that almost seem unreal. There's no way to not be taken in by it. It will bring you closer to nature, give you a feeling that is rare for most people. A sunset cruise will calm your mind and help you breathe again.
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.
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).
