Google you tube and search " the blue hole, dahab egypt ". Not to dampen your enthusiasm, but to give you a real world look at what happens when we make poor decisions diving.

I guessed from your use of this character "ı" that you were from Turkey :D Good luck in your quest for more diving education. Starting young is a great thing.
 
advanced nitrox and side mount are they good way to start?

Sidemount is an increasingly popular configuration for recreational and technical diving. It can be a good option because it is very easy (small and lightweight) to travel with and you can use it on every dive, both technical and recreational. This means you will accumulate more equipment familiarity over time...as all your diving will be in the same rig.

Formal technical training will usually start with Advanced Nitrox, or a direct equivalent like the PADI Tec40 or ANDI Technical SafeAir Diver. As an entry-level course, it will teach you the basics of equipment use, along with key emergency drills and the protocols and procedures needed to plan and manage a basic technical dive.

In respect of learning equipment use, some agencies (such as PADI) now allow you to combine/intergrate sidemount qualification with technical training. For instance, the PADI Tec Sidemount course can now be integrated into the Tec40/45/50 courses.

There's plenty of technical diving in Egypt. Dahab is perhaps the major 'hub' for tech training there.

Team Blue Immersion is a very good starting point for your research. They do good things...
