For over forty years Panama City Beach has lured visiting divers from everywhere.  Because of the location and the “Worlds Most Beautiful Beaches” this area is a major destination for  people who wish to drive to their beach destination and is 12 hours driving time closer to major US metro areas than the Florida Keys. 

With the advantage of more near shore dive sites than anywhere else on the Gulf Coast, local dive centers and dive boats have flourished.  Currently Panama City Beach boasts five full service and professionally run dive shops.  These operations can handle any need of the visiting divers and group leaders.  Services include but is not limited to: sales, service, air fills (NITROX), training and boat charters.
