Sidemount Diver's new course materials are time-saving for instructors and retailers. They don't have to search through multiple sources to put together the course materials, nor do they have to spend the time to create their own exams, quizzes and other teaching tools. They don't have to explain to customers and students why eLearning isn't available for this course.

How Long Does It Take To Get Your Padi Card


This course covers all aspects of technical sidemount diving, including classroom workshops and three days in-water skills training.

How Do I Get Started in Technical Diving

How Do I Get Started in Technical Diving


Why choose Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach?Because we�re divers first, instructors second. Yes, we are instructors and mentors, but that comes second to our diving. We�ve seen too many instructors who get over involved in teaching and they end up never diving without students. That�s not us! We have made a pact with ourselves that we will never do more training dives in a month than our own dives. We have also promised ourselves to always do at least twice as much time in the water doing our own dives as we do training dives. This plan will ensure we never get burned out on providing the best quality dive instruction we can. We also develop long term mentoring relationships with our students. Several of our students have become our dive buddies and have gone on to help us with our exploration and survey projects in Florida and Mexico.

What Does It Cost To Fill A Scuba Tank





The new program reduces the cost of both instructors and retailers by not needing to buy multiple sets or materials to teach the same course but to different audiences.
