    Biggest regret, not doing this at 25, 35, or 45 years old but just certified at 55. The staff, shop, boats were great, very clean and put together. There was no upselling, no attitudes and just great people who want to share their love of diving. Special thanks to Damon my dive instructor. He easily identified my faults and patiently worked with me without frustration. Definitely an old school instructor but can tell he can adapt to all generations. If you are in doubt whether or not you can do this, do it! If it is not for you, at least you will know. Thanks Panama City Diving Crew. Hope to dive with ya'll soon again.

    I've been diving with these people since around 2015. It's always an enjoyable experience. The boat is nice, the crew is great. Their shop is nice. They provide snacks and drinks during the charters. They do inshore and offshore dives so people of all experience levels can go. We will definitely continue diving with them.

    I did my referral fives for the open water certification and it was a great expletive. Our instructor Ben was amazing and made the experience fun and non-stressful. And diving in the gulf was awesome because of the ship wrecks we got to explore!

    Awesome service. Amanda was very nice and accommodating. Got my three certifications in a timely manner. Also got a few diving gadgets :)

    I had the opportunity to dive with Panama City Diving on 2 consecutive days. They provide excellent service and support for all 4 dives. Before heading to the boat there is a quick check in at the dive shop. They have a great selection of gear if required. On the boat the captain James and dive master Travis were outstanding. They were both very knowledgeable about each dive site and fish in the area. Also I really appreciated that they practiced distancing on the boat as well. I will gladly dive with them again.

    Amazing first boat diving experience, Ben was awesome and was there to answer our questions. Capt. James was great. We also did a guided dive with Sara at st.andrews which would highly recommend

    Family trip

    We do a dolphin cruise with captain Stan every time we come down to PCB. If you encounter any marine life if he can stop and let you swim with them he will. He is awesome at his job. We have saw several family's of dolphins and we have saw sea turtles. He will take you to shell island and let you swim around for a bit or the last couple of times he took us to a sand dollar spot. And we found sand dollars galore. Best experience by far

    I was down in PCB with the family on vacation and my son and I went diving with Panama City Diving a couple times this week.

Hubby (already certified) & I went in just to inquire about classes, I was extremely concerned about the swimming test because I'm not a very good/confident swimmer. After talking with Todd, we decided I should try a swim lesson in their on site pool with Kada. Within an hour I was confident enough to sign up for my e-learning & set a class date. I won't lie when say I was extremely nervous about the whole thing. Day 1 was in the pool (our class size was 6) & what an amazing pair of instructors we had! Josh & Kada truly made the whole process confidence building while assuring skills are achieved & well practiced. Day 2 was out at Morrison Springs working on newly acquired skills. Day 3 was supposed to be a boat dive however weather conditions were not good so we went back to Morrison Springs to finish up our open water certification. Honestly, I don't think I've ever had better instructors when learning a new skill before, Josh & Kada absolutely made the whole experience wonderful.

Their store is well stocked with all the usual and necessary gear, and you can rent everything here from snorkelling and paddle boarding equipment through dive computers, but what really makes this place stand out is their boat dives. They have three large (one is huge) boats at a nearby marina that boast fresh water and AC, and every day they visit the best dive sites in the region. Most dives are "inshore" dives that max out around 80 or 90 feet, but you can request "offshore" dives that take a good bit longer but max out at around 120' and offer clearer dives and usually more marine life. There's rarely been a dive I've done here in more than 100 dives that hasn't been great. Both rentals and dives are very fairly priced. For $150ish you can get a full equipment rental plus two fantastic boat dives. The staff are fantastic. Super helpful at fitting gear, helping you plan self guided dives, and doing all they can to help.

I have neck and should injuries so this was not good for me. The first day we walked in, it seemed like Joe had an attitude towards us and couldn't be bothered. I needed help with a tool to open my dive computer because I left it at home. They were no help. Finding the boat was easy. It's over in Captain Anderson's Marina area. The first day, the crew didn't even lift a finger to help but then were asking for tips.... Crazy. I don't know if they heard me complain or what, but the 2nd day they were way more helpful. Yes, it's a service industry. But I paid for the charter. If you aren't going to help me with anything I'm not tipping you. There are too many great dive shops where the crew helps with tanks and getting you situated, etc. if it wasn't for the 2nd day, they would have gotten one star. The 2nd day a nice younger dive master came up and asked us if we needed help and lord Jesus I was so grateful for him. I wish I caught his name to give him a shoutout. Sadly, he wasn't on our boat.
