The sport of diving was a passion of ours since we first started it over ten years ago. It was evident from the first time we took a breath on a regulator in a pool that this would be a lifelong passion. Before we left for our check-dive trip to the Sea of Cortez, all of our gear had been purchased. After returning from our checkout weekend dive, we knew we could not wait to return to Mexico and dive again. We began diving in Panama and logged more than 100 dives during our first year. We had so much fun diving that we decided to share our passion with others.
We believe that training in scuba diving should not just be about learning how to respond in the event of an emergency. While this is an important aspect of the training, we also make sure that you are competent to do so once you are done. This applies to every course, whether it is Open Water or Technical. We teach you how scuba diving works, not just how it is possible to survive below water. You won�t always be able go to your knees for help if you have an issue. You should be able deal with any issues while you are underwater. That's how we train you.
Tech Sidemount skills include gas switching, gas management, gas switching staged ascents and valve drills.
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 it 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.
Our belief is that scuba diving training should go beyond just knowing what to do if something goes wrong. This is a vital part of the training. We make sure that you have the ability to perform all the tasks in the water, and not just on your bottom. This is true for all our courses, Open Water to Technical. We teach you how and when to dive. You won't always be able to reach your knees if there is a problem. Any issues that arise in mid-water must be addressed. This is how we train you.
