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.
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.
Our teaching philosophy rests on the following: Mentors first, instructors last. We're not just diving instructors. We will answer all your questions and be a resource. While we might not be able to answer all your questions, we will point you in the right direction to someone who can. We want you to grow your dive knowledge and experience. You should not just pay for an instructor's rating and be given that rating. You should ensure that your instructor has the necessary experience to teach what you are teaching.
The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver programme is much more than a simple "how to" guide on sidemount diving. This is a comprehensive, complete training set that will make sidemount diving learning and teaching simple.
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.
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).
