Vortex/Panama City Trip

[Finnatic]

We (husband and I) are planning a trip to the PCB area this comimg weekend. We're newly certified and have 15 dives logged most of which were done on our trip to Bonaire in May. We plan to camp at Vortex and dive the springs on Friday to review skills and to familiarize ourselves with some new equipment. We'd like to run down to PCB on Saturday to do a boat dive. Our local club suggested Panama City Beach Dive Center but I haven't heard much about them on this board. We're looking for some easy shallow dives at this point and I would like some input on this operation or suggestions for others in the area that can accommodate us. Thanks!

PCDC is fine Im sure. I usually go with Splash out of Divers Den. They do a inshore trip, 2 dives, $55, usually hit the Black BArt on the first dive, a tug in 60ft of water, and a really nice wreck, easy dive. THen they will do a bridge span in 40ft of water, which are also a fun dive and you may see some sharks on that. Here is their site.
