Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach, we are divers first. Instructors second. Yes, we are mentors and instructors but that's secondary to our diving. Too many instructors get so involved in teaching that they forget to teach their students. We won't let that happen! We have made a vow to ourselves not to do more than our own training dives each month. We have also agreed to spend at most twice as many hours in the water on our own training dives as we do on our own. This will ensure we never lose sight of our goal of providing excellent diving instruction. It is also a great way to build long-term mentorship relationships with your students. Many of our divers have become our dive buddies.
Tech Sidemount skills include: dive planning, gas management and gas switching, staged climbs, valve drillings, and out of the air.
This idea seems to work. To serve the gear needs and customers of the boat, it opened a dive store. The shop has grown to include a training and retail facility. You can shop at the shop to learn how to dive or plan your next diving adventure.
That idea seems to work. The boat grew into a dive shop to support the gear needs of its patrons. The shop has in turn grown into a full retail and training facility. If you want to learn to dive for the first time or plan your next diving adventure our shop can be your base of operations.
We wanted to give you, our students, some additional information about how to become a technical diving instructor and cave diving instructor. It is not always an easy task. Both of us have chosen to go through the difficult process of becoming technical diving and cave diving instructors.
You’ll learn about the advantages of diving with a sidemount configuration and how to set up a tec sidemount harness. You’ll get hands-on training during one confined water session and four open water dives where you’ll start with two tanks and add at least two more, maybe even getting to six side-mounted cylinders.
Sidemount Pros will supply your sidemount harness and all hardware necessary to set up your sidemounts cylinders. If you are interested in purchasing the equipment, you can have it customized for you by Sidemount Pros during your course.
