Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach FL

What Is Considered Technical Diving


Why choose Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach?Because we’re divers first, instructors second. Yes, we are instructors and mentors, but that comes second to our diving. We’ve seen too many instructors who get over involved in teaching and they end up never diving without students. That’s not us! We have made a pact with ourselves that we will never do more training dives in a month than our own dives. We have also promised ourselves to always do at least twice as much time in the water doing our own dives as we do training dives. This plan will ensure we never get burned out on providing the best quality dive instruction we can. We also develop long term mentoring relationships with our students. Several of our students have become our dive buddies and have gone on to help us with our exploration and survey projects in Florida and Mexico.




We offer an extensive range of training courses, from beginners to advanced divers to emergency rescue classes. Get in touch with Sidemount Technical Diver Panama City Beach right away!

Sidemount Scuba Setup


We believe that scuba diving training should be more than just learning what to do in case something goes wrong. While that is a very important part of the training and we make sure when you complete your training you are competent to do that, we also make sure you do all this mid-water, not on the bottom on your knees! This goes for every course we teach, from Open Water through our Technical courses. We teach you how to scuba dive, not just how to survive under water. You won’t always be diving in an area where you can go to your knees when an issue arises. You need to be able to deal with any issues mid-water. And that’s how we teach you.
