This course includes three days of instruction in the water and classroom workshops on technical sidemount diving.
The Professional Association of Dive Instructors, (PADI), made us Open Water Scuba Instructors over a decade back. Each of our dives was over 200. Since then, we have been teaching all over Arizona, California, Florida, Mexico, New Jersey and New Jersey. We both were able, in less than a full year, to earn our PADI Master Scuba Diving Instructor Trainer ratings. Additionally, we have taught many specialty courses. Our annual average is over 150 dives. We usually dive for over an hour.
This idea seems to work. To meet the gear needs of its customers, the boat built a dive shop. Since then, the shop has evolved into a fully-stocked retail and training center. Our shop is the perfect place to start diving lessons or plan your next adventure.
Our teaching philosophy is simple, We are mentors first, instructors second. We don�t only teach diving, we are out there doing the dives. We are here to answer your questions and act as a resource for you. We may not know every answer, but we will direct you to someone who can help you. We want to help you grow your diving experience and knowledge. When choosing an instructor, make sure that instructor hasn�t just paid for an instructor rating and been given the rating. Make sure that instructor has current experience diving what he/she is teaching.
Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach is the best choice because we are divers first and instructors second. Although we are mentors and instructors, our diving is the most important thing. Too many instructors get too involved in teaching that they don't dive with their students. We are not like that! We made a deal with ourselves to never do more training dives per month than we did our own dives. We also made a promise to spend at least twice as long in the water training than doing our own dives. This will ensure that we don't lose sight of the goal to provide excellent dive instruction. Our students also benefit from our long-term mentoring relationships. Many of our students became our dive buddies, and they have continued to support us in our survey and exploration projects in Florida and Mexico.
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.
The sunset hours are a magical time to be out on the water. The sun turns golden and paints the sky in a palette of hues and colors that seem almost unreal. There is no way you cannot be taken by it. The clean ocean air, vast sky and unbelievable sunset colors will connect you with nature and give you a feeling of relaxation and happiness that most people don�t get to experience anymore. A sunset trip will help you calm your mind and let you breathe again.
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).
