Tech Sidemount skills are: gas management, gas switching and staged ascents. Vale drills.
Over a decade ago, we became Open Water Scuba Instructors by the Professional Association of Dive Instructors. We have completed over 200 dives. We have been active teachers in Arizona, Florida and Mexico since then. After becoming independent instructors, we were both able earn the PADI Master Scuba Diver Instructor rating in less than one year. We also teach several specialties. Each year, we average more than 150 dives. Our dives usually last more than an hour.
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.
Our Courses are open water trained in a conducive environment. The lake offers a stable, predictable environment that isn't affected by weather conditions.
Sidemount Pros will supply your sidemount harness and all hardware necessary to set up your side mounts cylinders. If you are interested in purchasing the equipment, you can have it customized for you by Sidemount Pros during your course.
This course covers the equipment and skills for technical sidemount diving including both classroom workshops and three days of in-water skills development.
