Panama City - $325 ppdo

Purpose: Open Water, Advanced Open Water and Specialty Certifications. Offered monthly from May until early November

Our Panama City trip runs Friday evening until Sunday afternoon. Divers generally leave Atlanta after work or school on Friday and check into the hotel in the evening. We do three dives on Saturday at Vortex Springs, a fresh water site about 45 minutes from the hotel. SeaSports provides a picnic lunch. The site offers 20 different species of fresh water fish – see how many you can find!! We arrange a group meal for anyone who wants to join in on Saturday evening.

It’s usually early to bed since the boats take off at 7am Sunday morning. We use Panama City Dive Center – PCDC- as our supplier of boat trips. They have a truly helpful and friendly staff that bends over backwards to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. If weather in the gulf is bad, we’ll head back to Vortex to complete our certification dives.

The trip price includes: Hotel (per person, double occupancy), Vortex entry fees, boat fees, tanks, air fills, weights, and lunch on Saturday.

Divers pay for all other meals and transportation to Panama City
