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.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach has been built to serve as a clubhouse. The clubhouse serves as the central point of a divers community and is a place for divers to come together to plan their next adventure. All are invited. The basic idea behind our expansion is that the status of things isn't good enough. We constantly looked at the systems that are used in diving business and asked if they were safe, efficient, and fun.
Our Courses are open water training in a conducive environment. The lake offers a stable, predictable environment that isn't affected by weather conditions.
