We do it all; charters, classes, gear rental and service.... and we have the cheapest air and nitrox fills in town.

Ok it is official Panama City Dive Charters has ruined me on all other Dive operations! I am simply afraid no other operator will ever measure up. We just finished our Rescue class - the last step we needed to become master divers! We wanted a PADI O2 class as well and they did not have an instructor to do... More

I can't say enough about this staff. We went out on an off shore dive with mixed divers...spearfishing and just divers. The staff aimed to please and not only worked extremely hard and professionally but also had delightful sense of humor and personalities One group of divers had car trouble and a staff member drove out to pick the divers...

We did 2 trips, 2 dives per trip. Black Bart, Span 12, Span 14 and the Red Sea Wreck. The captains and deckhands were very helpful and friendly. The Dive shop staff was also extremely helpful.

Captain Pat and Divemaster Kyle did a great job of handling a bunch of divers! Their briefings were good, informative, and brief enough to remember. The Steel Slinger was a great boat to stride off and very easy to get back aboard even for those of us who care our our "spare weight". Pat listened to our trip organizer and... More

Thanks for the kind words! One of the advantages to limiting our trips to a lower number of passengers than the boat can legally carry is that we can more easily cater to our customers' needs and preferences. We're only happy if you guys are and we feel that its just better business practice long term. We can't wait to... More

My friend and I recently took a trip to Panama City Beach for some time to relax and to take Open Water Diver Class to get certified. A few months before coming, we contacted Capt. Pat Green to set everything up. He mailed the books to us so we could begin studying the academics in our free time at home.... More

We had a great time with Panama City Dive Charters! We were very pleased with the rental equipment at their shop. After heading out, we visited two great dive sites, the Black Bart and Bridge Span 14. The crew was very helpful in accomodating the wide range of skill level on the boat. The trip finished up with fresh pineapple... More

I just returned from diving with Panama City Dive Charters for three days. They are a first class operation. The boat is a 36 foot Newton Dive Boat and there is plenty of room to spread out. No cattle herding hear! I dove with Capt. Dave and Tony and Reid. All were focused on their customers all the time! We... More

My wife and I were scheduled to dive on July 2d but the trip got filled with students who needed to certify. My dive instructor recommended I contact Pat Green at Panama City Dive Charters as our back up option. We were pleasantly suprised to find Panama City Dive Charters as the best diving experience we have had in five... More

My family and I completed Open Water Diver certification at Panama City Dive Charters last week and had the very best experience. The communication prior to our arrival was great, we received our study materials well in advance, and they accommodated all our schedule requests. All the gear was provided and included in the cost (which was less than at... More

PC Dive Charters is by far the best diving establishment in Panama City Beach. The staff and owner Capt. Pat are very knowledgeable and friendly. When I was looking to purchase a particular BC, Pat even took me in the back and showed me his set up, which he dives himself. We plan on diving with them again over the... More
