It was over a decade since we began diving. We fell in love quickly with the sport. After the first breath from a regulator in our pool, it became clear that this was going on to be a passion. Before we headed to the Sea of Cortez to do our checkout dives, we had already bought all of the gear. We couldn't wait to dive again in Mexico after returning from our checkout weekend. Our first year as divers saw us dive in the waters around panama. We logged more 100 dives. Our passion for diving was so strong that we decided it was time to share it with others.
With over 200 dives per year, we were certified Open Water Scuba Instructors (PADI), over a decade before. Since then, we have been active instructors in Arizona, Florida, Mexico and New Jersey. Both of us were able to obtain our PADI Master Scuba Diving Diver Trainer rating in less time than a year. In addition, we also teach several specialty courses. On average, we do over 150 dives per year. The majority of our dives last for more than an hour.
This course covers the equipment and skills for technical sidemount diving including both classroom workshops and three days of in-water skills development.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach: We are divers first and instructors last. We are also instructors and mentors. However, that is secondary to our diving. Too many instructors become too involved in teaching, and end up not diving with students. This is not what we do! We made a commitment to ourselves that we would never do more training diving in a month than what we did for our own dives. We have also committed to spending at least twice the time on our own diving than we do training. This will ensure we are always able to give the best possible dive instruction. Long-term mentoring relationships are also established with our students. Many of our students have become dive buddies and helped us with our surveys and explorations in Florida and Mexico.
