IT WAS GREAT ! We had so much fun learning about some of the basics of scuba diving and we will be coming back next year!!!
This experience will be like snorkeling but on steroids! If you like to snorkel this introduction to scuba diving is the perfect next step to explore the underwater world. You will learn the basics of diving from your knowledgeable instructors who will lead you on a guided tour of St. Andrew's State Park or a local fresh water spring if Gulf conditions are unfavorable. This is a great class for people comfortable in the water that want to explore a little deeper.

I did this class solo just to try something new. It was sooo much fun!! I had some panic attacks in the begining and wasn't sure I was going to be able to do the swim. It is a major mind game. Damon was very patient with me and worked to calm my fears. Once he got me to the bottom and showed me that I could indeed breathe underwater, it was all good. Felt completely safe and well informed on the equipment and how to use it. Such a fun time and fabulous sights, the water is so clear and filled with fish and jelly fish. Thankfully didn't see a shark!

Panama City Diving is an excellent dive shop that provides fantastic dive trips. I regularly go on their inshore and offshore dives in the Gulf. They provide safe and fun diving experiences and have friendly and knowledgeable crew members. Their boat is comfortable as well as easy and safe to dive from.

As someone who has never been scuba diving, but have always wanted to, I’m so glad I went with Panama City Diving! Damon and Ben were my instructors and they provided thorough training before allowing us to dive. I felt very comfortable the entire time and they kept the mood light and fun (while ensuring safety the whole time). Will definitely be coming back to get my certification!!
