Panama City Diving

Panama City Diving We specialize in recreational & technical dive training, charters, gear, spearfishing, & customer service! Brothers Pat and James own Panama City Diving.

Originally the business was a simple dive charter specializing in wreck and spearfishing trips. Due to its popularity and the need for customers to have reliable access to quality rental gear, the simple operation became a shop too. Despite oil spills, hurricanes, and and the challenges of an unpredictable ocean the business has continued to grow thanks to the many customers that come back and tell their friends how much fun they had.

Bay County TDC voted unanimously this morning to submit a proposal to Okaloosa County to partner with them to deploy the SS United States!

If Okaloosa accepts the proposal the ship should be accessible from dive charters out of Panama City. This is a big deal!!!

Our Story

Its been a wild ride from our start in 2007 on he docks of Bay Point to now. We’ve grown from Pat and his cell phone and a boat to leasing land for the dive shop, into a family operation with James partnering in the company to run the boat and buy our own land. We have made it through, oil spills, red tides and hurricanes along the way. We have learned, grown and evolved (and maybe gone bald) but we have never changed our commitment to our customers or seen our love for what we do diminish. Our team cares about diving and sharing that passion with others. 2020 marks a decade in business as a dive shop! Where does the time go?
