Training in open water for our Courses takes place in a comfortable environment. The lake is a more stable and predictable environment than an ocean location, which allows for a better teaching experience.
Our teaching philosophy is simple, We are mentors first, instructors second. We don’t only teach diving, we are out there doing the dives. We are here to answer your questions and act as a resource for you. We may not know every answer, but we will direct you to someone who can help you. We want to help you grow your diving experience and knowledge. When choosing an instructor, make sure that instructor hasn’t just paid for an instructor rating and been given the rating. Make sure that instructor has current experience diving what he/she is teaching.

Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach - We're divers first and instructors only second. Yes, we're instructors and mentors. But that comes after our diving. Too many instructors are too involved with teaching and don't want to dive without their students. We have seen this happen. We don't think so! We have made a promise to ourselves that we won't do more training dives than our own. We also pledged to spend at minimum twice as much time in water performing our own dives than training dives. This will ensure that we do not lose focus on giving the best dive instruction possible. In addition, we establish long-lasting mentoring relationships with our students. Many of our students are now our dive buddies. They have helped us with our survey and exploration projects in Florida, Mexico.
