The new program saves retailers and instructor money, as there is no need to invest in multiple sets of materials to teach what are, essentially, the same course, just to different audiences.
If you’re a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, at least 18 years old and have a minimum of 30 logged dives, you qualify to enroll in our Sidemount Diver course. It’s recommended that you also have a PADI Enriched Air Diver certification.
We began diving over a decade ago and quickly fell in love with the sport. It became apparent after that first breath off a regulator in the pool that this was going to be a passion. We bought all of our gear before we even headed to the Sea of Cortez for our checkout dives! After returning from our checkout dive weekend, we knew we couldn’t wait for another trip to Mexico to dive again. We started diving the waters of Panama and ended up logging over 100 dives our first year as divers. Our passion for diving had taken us over so much that we decided we wanted to help pass it along to others.
We offer all scuba certifications as well as check out dives. We can tailor the class schedule to meet your needs with Elearn or onsite classes.
It seems that this idea works. To support its patrons' gear needs, the boat opened a dive shop. The shop has since grown to be a complete retail and training facility. The shop is a great place to start your diving journey.
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 Courses are open water training in a conducive environment. The lake offers a stable, predictable environment that isn't affected by weather conditions.
Don't grab animals, don't hold them for photo ops, don't go for rides on dolphins or turtles, and don't force puffer fish to inflate (it can be fatal to them).
