Thursday March 21 (1st Day of Spring!) we are having a fish fry at PC Dive Charters 5512 Thomas Drive Panama City 32408. It starts at 6pm and goes until we run out of beer! Everyone is welcome, we put on these month;y cook outs to promote the dive community coming together and networking. So...

Well the great weather has led to warmer water and great conditions locally. We crossed the tideline about 2 miles out and thew water temp jump from 58*F to 63*F and it turned that pretty shade of blue that means good vis. Seas were 2-3', bottom temp was 63-64*F depending on whose computer you...

We are helping put on a annual Dive Fest to Benefit Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba (Wounded Warrior Project). Basically if you come on our or Better Bottom Time's charters we donated our proceeds to them for the 3 day weekend of the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. There is also a party and silent...

So January Friday the 13th I had a stroke. Not my first one as it turns out. This was a pretty big surprise to me as I suppose it is to all stroke victims. I'm 33 years old, am damn near a vegetarian as far as red meat and pork are concerned, and I don't smoke or drink and am pretty physically...

This is the trip I booked as a Christmas present for the guys in my Shop, we only booked half the boat but it looks like the group that was supposed to go on the other half has backed out and there are now some open bunks. I love this boat (especially since I don't have to drive and watch...

The Park is for sure closed for diving in the kiddie pool, so unless you want to hike all the way to the Gulf side it probably a bust. We had a class out there this week and vis was 5'-12' due to the dredging. Out on the inshore dive sites conditions are perfect water is 72-75*F and vis has been...

So it looks like several of us from the FL, AL, GA area are going to go lobstering and spearing out of Key West on the M/V Playmate. We rented the whole boat but some other friends have had things come up causing them to back out. So... we need more bug grabbers and shooters! This is a...

Just wanted to let everyone know that most of us charter operators in Panama City have resumed running charters again after nearly all of us voluntarily canceled all of our trips for the past few weeks while a sub surface oily plume was in our area. Sadly no one is doing and testing at depth so...

We have 4 more spots to fill on a trip to the Marquesas and Tortugas aboard the Playmate in a few weeks. This is a liveaboard charter leaving from Key West. You go to sleep on the boat Sunday night and wake up in the Marquesas. Cost is $1050 and includes the gourmet meals and nitrox all day...

We took an advanced class out yesterday afternoon and into last night. Well the good news is that conditions were flat calm and warm topside. The bad news is that vis was 5-10'. Which is great for training but poor for enjoyment. It was that nasty green turbid stuff with alot of suspended large...

We went out about 42 miles SSW of the Jetties yesterday for some deep reef scouting and had some of the best dives in a long time. We had flat seas nearly the whole way out and I called dibs on the first drop on what I deemed to be good "lobstery" looking hardbottom. As the descent down the...

We did some deep spearing yesterday off Panama City. The highlights were watching the water temp rise from 53*F inshore to 64*F 46 miles South, seeing more turtles and baby Portuguese Man-O-Wars, and amberjacks than ever before and having a disagreement about who was eating whom for dinner with...

Air temp was 29*F when we were loading the boat just before 9am. Lots of ice on the boat from the rain that puddled. We had to turn on the hot water hose and clear it off and pound it off the bench just like my buddy Sig Hanson. North Wind was holding steady at 15 knots. Water temp in the marina...

We had another chance encounter with a whale shark earlier in the week. This one was an ~18' Female that just swam right over the top of me while I was on span 2. I stayed beside her long enough to snap a few photos before I decided the limited vis was probably not conducive to following her off...

One of my divers found a ______ on span 14 today (Saturday 8-8-09). Correctly call my cell phone with the answer and you can have it back. Island Diver was there before us today. The ______ has zero growth and looks fine so it was lost recently. Please only call if you actually lost...

Yesterday (Friday) both Island Diver and WreckRaider spotted a whale shark on span 14 and today there was one spotted on both the USS Strength and on span 1! We just missed the one on span 1 by about 5 minutes according to the boat that was diving there when it showed up. Thanks for the heads up...

So we had just another typical Saturday charter;) and after we dove the USS Strength I motored over to Span 12 and sent my DM in to tie in. About 15 seconds later I noticed the sheer profusion of life in the clear flat water water, plainly visible down to the span itself.... which from the...
