Sidemount Divers are available to anyone who is at least 18 years of age and has logged at least 30 dives. You should also hold a PADI Enriched A Diver certification.
The new Sidemount Diver course materials save retailers and instructors time, as they don’t need to go to several different sources to assemble the materials needed to teach a comprehensive course, nor do they need to take the time necessary to come up with their own quizzes, exams and similar teaching tools. Further, they do not have to explain to students and customers why eLearning is not available for this course because it is.
You will learn the benefits of diving with a sidemount setup and how to create a tec-sidemount harness. Practical training will take place in one confined-water session and four open-water dives. You'll begin with two tanks and expand to at least two additional tanks.
Sunset hours are magical times to be on the water. The sun turns to gold and paints the sky with a rainbow of colors that seems almost unbelievable. It is impossible to resist it. You will feel a sense of peace and tranquility as you take in the beautiful sunset colors, clean ocean air and vast sky. A sunset trip can help you relax and allow you to breathe again.

Our first open water dives were over 200 each when we became Open Water Scuba Instructors with the Professional Association of Dive Instructors. Since then, our active teaching has been in Arizona and California as well as Mexico, New Jersey, Arizona, and Mexico. After becoming independent instructors, it took us less than a month to get our PADI Master Scuba Diving Trainer rating. We also taught several specialty courses. Each year we take over 150 dives. The majority of our dives last at least an hour.
We believe that diving training should include more than learning how to deal with any problems. Although that is an important part, we also ensure you are competent enough to dive once you have completed your training. This is true of all our courses from Open Water to the Technical. Not only will you learn how to survive in the water, but also how to dive. You won't always be able dive in an area where you can get to your knees in case of an emergency. You must be able to handle any issues in the water. We teach this.
