The new SDI/TDI Sidemount Diver book is not just another book on sidemount divers. It includes a complete and comprehensive collection of training materials, all designed to be combined to make sidemount dive learning and teaching easy.
Over a decade ago, we started diving and fell in love with it. After our first dive off the regulator in the pool, it was clear that this was going be a passion. Before we went to the Sea of Cortez to do our check-dive, all of our gear was purchased. We knew that we wanted to return to Mexico for another dive trip after our check-in weekend. Our first year of diving in panama saw us log over 100 dives. We were so passionate about diving that we decided to share it with others.
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.
Sidemount Diver's new course materials are time-saving for instructors and retailers. They don't have to search through multiple sources to put together the course materials, nor do they have to spend the time to create their own exams, quizzes and other teaching tools. They don't have to explain to customers and students why eLearning isn't available for this course.
Our teaching philosophy rests on the following: Mentors first, instructors last. We're not just diving instructors. We will answer all your questions and be a resource. While we might not be able to answer all your questions, we will point you in the right direction to someone who can. We want you to grow your dive knowledge and experience. You should not just pay for an instructor's rating and be given that rating. You should ensure that your instructor has the necessary experience to teach what you are teaching.
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).
