This idea seems to work. To serve the gear needs and customers of the boat, it opened a dive store. The shop has grown to include a training and retail facility. You can shop at the shop to learn how to dive or plan your next diving adventure.
Sidemount Divers will be accepted if you are a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver and at least 18-years old. It is highly recommended to also hold the PADI Enriched Diver certification.
Sidemount Pros can provide you with your sidemount kit and the hardware needed to install your sidemounts. The equipment will be customized by Sidemount Pros for your course and is available for purchase if you choose to take advantage.
Open water training for our Courses is done in a conducive environment. The lake provides a more stable and predictable teaching environment which is not affected by the weather problems we might face if using an ocean location.
We became Open Water Scuba Instructors through the Professional Association of Dive Instructors (PADI) over a decade ago with over 200 dives each. Since then we have been actively teaching throughout Arizona, Florida, Mexico, New Jersey, and Southern California. We were both able to earn our PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating less than a year after becoming independent instructors and teaching several specialty courses. We average over 150 dives each year. Most of our dives last over an hour.
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.
Training on our Courses in open water is possible in a safe environment. The lake provides a more stable teaching environment and is less affected by the weather than ocean locations.
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).
