My wife and I flew from California to Panama City beach so my wife could get Scuba certified in warm water. We chose Panama City diving because of all of the positive reviews. I also was taking a renewal class. We very fortunate to get Damon as our instructor. He went above and beyond to make sure my wife would earn her certification. The first day was in the pool and she lucked out by being the only student. The second day we met at a small marina, located in a state park. The visibility in the water was about 5 feet. Damon stayed close, made sure she was safe and helped my wife with all the requirements for the day.
The following day, we were supposed to head back to the Marina but a storm was approaching and it wouldn't be safe to dive in the ocean.
So Damon went out of his way to find a safe location. we ended up diving in Morrison Springs. It was a beautiful location and visibility was about 25 feet.
My wife passed all of the requirements and received her certificate.
Overall, it was a great experience. Damon was a great instructor and a heck of a nice guy. If you use Panama City Diving, try to get Damon as your instructor-you will not be disappointed!
