Sidemount Technical Diving Equipment

What Is Considered Technical Diving



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.



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.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach was founded as a clubhouse. A clubhouse is the central hub for divers. It allows them to get together, plan their next adventure, and act as a resource for each other. All are welcome. Our expansion was based on the belief that the status quo is not sufficient. We've been constantly examining the diving industry's systems and asked ourselves if they are safe, efficient, and fun for both the customer and the community.

Sidemount Technical Diving Lab


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.
