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.


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.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach is the best choice because we are divers first and instructors second. Although we are mentors and instructors, our diving is the most important thing. Too many instructors get too involved in teaching that they don't dive with their students. We are not like that! We made a deal with ourselves to never do more training dives per month than we did our own dives. We also made a promise to spend at least twice as long in the water training than doing our own dives. This will ensure that we don't lose sight of the goal to provide excellent dive instruction. Our students also benefit from our long-term mentoring relationships. Many of our students became our dive buddies, and they have continued to support us in our survey and exploration projects in Florida and Mexico.

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.

Sidemount Technical Diving Equipment Setup



Our passion for diving began over a decade back. After taking our first breaths off a regulator in the water, we knew this was going to become a passion. Before we ever went to the Sea of Cortez, we bought all of our gear! After our first dive weekend, we realized that Mexico was the perfect place for us to go back and dive again. In our first year as divers, we logged over 100 dives in the waters of panama. We became so passionate about diving that our passion was too overwhelming and we wanted to pass it on to others.
