Highly Recommended - Damn was my instructor for my refresher dive. It's been over 21 years since I've dove, and Damon was thorough and clear with his instructions. He also didn't make me feel like I was a brand new diver, even though it's been a while since I've been underwater. I had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Damon as a diving instructor and Panama City Diving!

Underwater Hunter- Intro to Spearfishing a Great Experience - Took the SDI Underwater Hunter- Intro to Spearfishing course created by Panama City Diving. Great course, a must for anyone wanting to add this skill to their SCUBA experience. The instructor Ben was outstanding. PCD never fails to impress, this course is no exception.

Certification/Diving - I completed a Scuba refresher class with Panama City Diving on August 1st. It had been several years since I was certified and I had a lot of anxiety. Damon my diving instructor was amazing! He made me feel comfortable, safe and very encouraging. I finished the class feeling very comfortable. Highly recommend Damon if you are looking to become certified. Looking forward to my next diving excursion!!!!

Learning to Dive in Panama City Beach - A great place to learn how to dive. Instructor Baylee is awesome, very informative and helpful. The practice dives went smoothly - the whole team worked well to take care of us and ensure that we were comfortable and confident during the dives. I 100% recommend for anyone wanting to learn to dive. If you are considering diving - do it! Definitely enjoyable. Pro tip - wear waterproof shoes or sandals onto the boat. 😅

Best Scuba Dive Shop in Panama City Beach Fl - Well Panama City Diving is an incredible dive shop!
If you are looking for SCUBA certification or to try scuba on vacation, Panama City Diving is your place to go. From the very beginning I dealt with Pat the owner and he helped me get set up with the learning courses and decide which scuba certification would be right for me.
Through the course I had instructor Ben, he was awesome! Ben is an extremely qualified trainer of instructors for SDI and was a ton of fun!
His passion for scuba is evident and it was a great time learning from him! Our first classroom day was rained out but we were able to make up the second day in the pool and do two dives at st Andrew’s state park. The dives were incredible and we worked on fundamental skills for safety and great dive etiquette. I will be going to Panama City Diving over and over for wreck dives and any certifications and to just catch up with the crew.
If you are considering scuba diving in Panama City fl please please please go to Panama City Diving it is the first shop on Thomas drive by the Hathaway bridge in Panama City fl! They have sooo much to offer!

Instructor Baylee is the BEST!!!!! - Incredible experience, the staff is super friendly and professional. Baylee is a great instructor, she made the experience amazing for our son who wants to be a diver. She was very attentive and was a really great teacher/diving instructor. The rest of the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions. Top notch diving class. If you want to learn how to dive this is the company to use. Five stars throughout the whole experience.

Awesome! If you're thinking about getting certified, This is the place. Ask for Ben! - I went to Panama City Diving to obtain my SDI Open Water Scuba Certification. It was such a great experience. Ben Carpenter was my instructor and he was absolutely amazing. I felt safe and gained a lot of knowledge. He is very experienced, easy-going, prompt, thorough, and knows how to explain things and check for understanding. I'd recommend this facility and Ben for your scuba certifications. The dive sites are nice, depending on the weather you may get both fresh and salt water experiences.

What an amazing November adventure - First class operation that teaches scuba in a highly professional and educational educational environment. Our dive instructor Charles was exceptional and while teaching us the utmost in diving preparation and safety he always made sure that the point of diving is to have fun and my daughter and I were truly able to enjoy the experience despite the colder November temperatures. My daughter and I really appreciated the way he and the entire staff made sure we got the most out of an experience that everyone should try . I cannot say enough how amazing it is to breathe underwater for the first time!
