We believe that diving training should include more than learning how to deal with any problems. Although that is an important part, we also ensure you are competent enough to dive once you have completed your training. This is true of all our courses from Open Water to the Technical. Not only will you learn how to survive in the water, but also how to dive. You won't always be able dive in an area where you can get to your knees in case of an emergency. You must be able to handle any issues in the water. We teach this.
Sidemount Pros will provide you with your sidemount harness as well as the hardware to mount your sidemount cylinders. You can purchase the equipment as it is custom-configured for you during the course.
Our teaching philosophy is simple. We are mentors first and instructors last. We don't just teach diving. We go out on the water and dive. We are happy to answer your questions, and serve as a resource. We may not be able answer every question, but we will refer you to the person who can. We want to increase your dive knowledge and experience. It is important to ensure that an instructor has not paid for instructor ratings and been awarded the rating. Make sure the instructor has dive experience.
We simply wanted to share some information with you, our potential students about the process of becoming technical diving and cave diving instructors. It's not always easy. Both of our cave diving and technical diver instructor ratings have been earned.
Sidemount Pros will supply your sidemount harness and all hardware necessary to set up your sidemounts cylinders. If you are interested in purchasing the equipment, you can have it customized for you by Sidemount Pros during your course.
We offer all scuba certifications as well as check out dives. We can tailor the class schedule to meet your needs with Elearn or onsite classes.
Sidemount Pros can provide you with your sidemount kit and the hardware needed to install your sidemounts. The equipment will be customized by Sidemount Pros for your course and is available for purchase if you choose to take advantage.
