We believe that scuba diving training should be more than just learning what to do in case something goes wrong. While that is a very important part of the training and we make sure when you complete your training you are competent to do that, we also make sure you do all this mid-water, not on the bottom on your knees! This goes for every course we teach, from Open Water through our Technical courses. We teach you how to scuba dive, not just how to survive under water. You won’t always be diving in an area where you can go to your knees when an issue arises. You need to be able to deal with any issues mid-water. And that’s how we teach you.

How Long Does A Scuba Tank Last




Sidemount Technical Diving Panama City Beach, we are divers first. Instructors second. Yes, we are mentors and instructors but that's secondary to our diving. Too many instructors get so involved in teaching that they forget to teach their students. We won't let that happen! We have made a vow to ourselves not to do more than our own training dives each month. We have also agreed to spend at most twice as many hours in the water on our own training dives as we do on our own. This will ensure we never lose sight of our goal of providing excellent diving instruction. It is also a great way to build long-term mentorship relationships with your students. Many of our divers have become our dive buddies.
