Welcome to Panama City Dive Center

Panama City Dive Center has helped thousands of divers to enjoy the sport of scuba diving since 1983.  Our reputation as a first class dive shop is known worldwide and most who dive with us come back again to see more of the many dive sites found in the Gulf of Mexico off the Panama City Beach area and to enjoy the abundant Florida sunshine.
We provide dive information, training, rental equipment, equipment repair, air and nitrox refills, and boat charters for both the recreational and professional diver. Panama City Beach is the number one dive destination on the Gulf coast of Florida with the most ship wrecks and offshore dive sites. Our goal is to provide the diver with everything needed from instruction to dive equipment rentals and dive charters to make your diving experience a fun-filled one to remember.

We all know Capt. Ron Spriggs, he is the guy with the sense of humor and Kool-Aid smile that is contagious to anyone around. He is a local Captain, dive instructor, and a wonderful father to his children.

To all of us he is our friend! In April 2008 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, after many years of helping so many people, Ron now needs our help with the costly medical bills. Anyone that would like to make a donation simply go to the nearest Peoples First Bank and make  your contribution to “The Benefit for Ron Spriggs”. This can be anonymous or you may leave your name. Donations can also be made at the two Panama City Dive Center stores.
