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.
This program is a cost-savings for both retailers and instructors. It doesn't require multiple sets of materials to be taught the same course to different audiences.
We began diving over a decade ago and quickly fell in love with the sport. It became apparent after that first breath off a regulator in the pool that this was going to be a passion. We bought all of our gear before we even headed to the Sea of Cortez for our checkout dives! After returning from our checkout dive weekend, we knew we couldn’t wait for another trip to Mexico to dive again. We started diving the waters of Panama and ended up logging over 100 dives our first year as divers. Our passion for diving had taken us over so much that we decided we wanted to help pass it along to others.
Open water training for our Courses is done in a conducive environment. The lake provides a more stable and predictable teaching environment which is not affected by the weather problems we might face if using an ocean location.
The new program helps save both the instructor and retailer money. There is no need for multiple sets of materials in order to teach what are essentially the same courses to different audiences.
That idea seems to work. The boat grew into a dive shop to support the gear needs of its patrons. The shop has in turn grown into a full retail and training facility. If you want to learn to dive for the first time or plan your next diving adventure our shop can be your base of operations.
It seems that this idea works. To support its patrons' gear needs, the boat opened a dive shop. The shop has since grown to be a complete retail and training facility. The shop is a great place to start your diving journey.
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).
