I just had my first interaction with this shop and did a dry-suit and JJ-Closed Circuit Rebreather course through them. Chris Ball (Owner) is hands down the best scuba instructor I've come across in 26 years of diving. His shop has everything from intro scuba / snorkel gear to advanced technical diving supplies including Oxygen & TRIMIX fills. He's passionate about the fun of diving while maintaining a "one-stop" dive shop, and has managed to figure out how to instruct on any level with both empathy and professionalism. Whether you have an 8 year-old who you think would enjoy getting underwater or are a seasoned dive professional, I can't recommend this shop strongly enough!

The water was a bit chilly in the low 60s but it was refreshing to swim in when the outside temperature hit 80s. The water was crystal clear on the day we went but I read it could be murky after the rain. It's much bigger than Ponce de Leon which is about 8 minute drive from there so you can even kayak or paddle board. I would highly recommend if you're visiting Panama City area if you need a slight change of scenery.

So I googled nearby springs and this recreation area came up. I was totally surprised to pull up and find that the water was super clear and blue. They have a pretty large swimming area with a diving board and slides. There is plenty of room to lay out and get sun. Also allow you to swim outside of the main area. The lifeguards were super friendly when I asked if I could swim outside the area and even told me where the underground cave was outside of the main area. Underneath the diving board is an entrance to another underwater cave. Be aware that there is a current in the main swimming area. We really enjoyed swimming/snorkeling in the area and seeing the underwater caves. It's a great value!!! I highly recommend hanging out here if you're in the area!!

That's where you find SEA Divers scuba diving Now add two of the nicest and most genuine people you will have the pleasure of meeting. That is Erica and Ashton, the owners of SEA Divers Scuba. I finished my initial certification with Ashton here. I heard so many good things about him as an instructor diver that I drove 10 hrs from NC to do it with him. Totally worth it! I could not ask for a more patient, knowledgeable individual. He is epic at making students feel comfortable and makes sure they are fully trained and understand the basics to start their lifelong dive journey. There is no way to leave here with a certification and not be ready to hit the water with just enough confidence to know this is a sport that takes lots more diving to master, but feel good about getting it. The dive shop is well stocked and they only sell name brand quality equipment but I challenge you to find any shop that does it at a better price. They will ship so ask here before spending somewhere else If you are a diver, a wanna be diver, or just wondering about diving and you are in within an hour of this shop you will do yourself a disservice by not stopping in. Highly recommended!
