Guided shore dive at the jetty's - Sara was great, very knowledgeable about the dive site. Sara made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and safe. I needed to rent a regulator, and their rental gear is top notch. They are the only shop I've ever rented a regulator from that has a dive computer. The rest of the staff that I encountered at the shop were very friendly and seemed to be very knowledgeable as well.

Very friendly and helpful - They were very friendly and helpful when I needed some help with my BCD at the shop. They took me out for the shore dive even though I was the only person in the trip, which not everywhere will do. Greet experience overall.

5 Stars Across the Board! - All positive experience. While on vacation, I got the dive bug, and stopped by Panama City Diving. Immediately upon entering the shop, I picked up on the relaxed atmosphere. I was recovering from a previous surgery, and Baylee accommodated my limitations. Baylee did an excellent job providing a guided dive of the St. Andrew’s State Park jetties. The pace of the dive allowed the divers to explore all that the jetties have to offer. I was surprised at the amount of diverse marine life. It was a long and leisurely dive, and I’m glad that I chose Nitrox for the dive. Thanks to Baylee and PC Diving for hosting my awesome experience.

Dive with PCD - I had signed up for an offshore trip, but PCD didn’t have enough divers, so they offered the guided shore dive as an option. John is a great guide and I had a wonderful time.

Learning new dive computer - Great shore dive although the visibility was 15 feet. I was mainly learning about my new dive computer. John our instructor was awesome. Very knowledgeable about the dive site and helpful the computer. Thank you, John. I will dive again with this company.

Refresher/guided dive with Baylee - We had an amazing time on our dive with Baylee. She was really patient with us and gave us the nest tour. I was doing a refresher dive and my kids were doing a guided dive. She made me feel so comfortable getting back into the water.

Overall Great Experience - John was an excellent dive master who patiently fiitted my brother and me for the wet suit and BC we had to rent which was a very reasonable price. John transported our equipment on his truck and we followed him to the Jessie’s at St. Andrews Park. He made sure our equipment was properly set up and gave us a safety brief. John made sure we were never separated while in the dive and even made several helpful suggestions. My only complaint was the water visibility was terrible and little sea life to see. That is not the dive shop fault, it as just the time of year and the day we went. John was extremely friendly and made us feel relaxed. Overall, a very good experience.
