Great instructors with a real dive shop and high safety standards…read more I've received compliments on my buoyancy from other instructors who couldn't believe how new I was, thanks to my excellent instructors at Anchors Away who went above and beyond to teach me how to be a great diver. They have a full selection of items on hand to choose from for purchase along with rental gear. Their prices were great and they have regular activities and trips to keep you engaged. Don't get scammed by people telling you how "cheap" they will certify you for, you won't get the training you should have. Definitely recommend Anchors Away!!!

I took their Beginner Open Water Class and left feeling well trained and confident that I can safely dive. Anchors Away is also awesome because they encourage customers to return for fun diving events like underwater pumpkin carving and boat diving trips. It's not just a school or a dive shop, but a place to learn and network with fellow divers and make new friends. Also, the staff are actively engaged with community service and volunteering, not to mention it is a veteran run business. I highly recommend Anchors Away Scuba.

The water was a bit chilly in the low 60s but it was refreshing to swim in when the outside temperature hit 80s. The water was crystal clear on the day we went but I read it could be murky after the rain. It's much bigger than Ponce de Leon which is about 8 minute drive from there so you can even kayak or paddle board. I would highly recommend if you're visiting Panama City area if you need a slight change of scenery.

I was comfortable, or I wouldn't have booked the dive. My suggestion...if you're new to the sport, this may not be your dive shop to book through. If you're an experienced diver, don't waste your money. The dives are boring, because you're so confined to any one item. First dive, we could look at an old metal structure that was a bridge. Wow...whoop-to-do. The second dive was better, but I guess I'm spoiled by the coral reefs in the Mexico region.

I just had my first interaction with this shop and did a dry-suit and JJ-Closed Circuit Rebreather course through them. Chris Ball (Owner) is hands down the best scuba instructor I've come across in 26 years of diving. His shop has everything from intro scuba / snorkel gear to advanced technical diving supplies including Oxygen & TRIMIX fills. He's passionate about the fun of diving while maintaining a "one-stop" dive shop, and has managed to figure out how to instruct on any level with both empathy and professionalism. Whether you have an 8 year-old who you think would enjoy getting underwater or are a seasoned dive professional, I can't recommend this shop strongly enough!

Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with Cave Adventurers…read more During my second day of training, I broke a finger and asked the instructor, Edd, whether I could complete the remaining portion of the course once my finger healed. Since I had already paid the full $900 upfront, he agreed. About two months later, I contacted him to schedule the remaining training days, but I started receiving multiple excuses and delays. I even offered to pay an additional $150 to accommodate the situation, but in the end, I was told I would need to pay another instructor $600 extra to complete the final two days because Edd no longer wanted to honor his original agreement. I understand unexpected situations can happen, but I was disappointed by the lack of follow-through and professionalism after paying in full and relying on the promise that was made.

So I googled nearby springs and this recreation area came up. I was totally surprised to pull up and find that the water was super clear and blue. They have a pretty large swimming area with a diving board and slides. There is plenty of room to lay out and get sun. Also allow you to swim outside of the main area. The lifeguards were super friendly when I asked if I could swim outside the area and even told me where the underground cave was outside of the main area. Underneath the diving board is an entrance to another underwater cave. Be aware that there is a current in the main swimming area. We really enjoyed swimming/snorkeling in the area and seeing the underwater caves. It's a great value!!! I highly recommend hanging out here if you're in the area!!

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.
