    Booked these guys at the last minute because the other shop I had previously used was acting strangely over the phone... boy was I glad we booked with Divers Den. We had a great experience and I wouldn’t change a thing about the excursion. They put us in several great dives; Carlos was our dive master and the captain was great. The boat was perfect for diving and I can’t wait to get back for another trip. If your diving around PCB, book these guys. They have a great store as well.

    Diver's Den is the place to get certified in all PADI SCUBA certifications. Great knowledgeable and friendly instructors. They also have an awesome dive charter with a U.S. Coast Guard Certified Captain (JD) that takes you to great wreck site like the Black Bart (awesome sunk boat), Span 1, 2, 12, and 14, the Red Sea , Hovercraft and Strength. I dropped my gopro on the 2nd dive and went back down and found it for me after the dive. The can also can take care of all your dive equipment needs. These guys are Pros!!!!!

    Such a friendly shop, all the staff were thorough and accommodating. Our dive trip was fantastic and the divemaster, Rick, and Captain JD were awesome, very courteous and intent on providing a great dive experience. 5-stars all around. I will definitely dive with Diver’s Den; they’re the one's to choose if you’re near the Panama City area.

    Dave is one of the best instructor one could asked for. Amazing dive master, i got my open water certification. Whole Team Nicole, Niko and the crew were amazing. Definitely recommending this place for any dive needs

    Diving with this shop was great. They were very friendly and accommodating beyond our expectations when weather threw a wrench in the plans. Their dove master was thorough and experienced. Their retail selection is the best in town. Will be diving with them in the future. Thanks guys.

    I can’t speak highly enough of this place or it crew. Like many I was on vacation and wanted to try the discover scuba. Rick (one of the instructors) came in on his day off to accommodate my son and I. This dude was personable, professional and courteous. Both him and the dive shop deserve 5+ stars. I would recommend to my own family and myself plan to use them the next time we are here.

    I can’t write enough of how great this dive shop was to me. More than accomodating. Nicole, Carlos, JD, and Nico were absolutely fantastic. I dove four trips in one day. Thanks and thanks again

    My 13 year old daughter and I headed down to PCB from atlanta to complete the open water portion of our certification. We chose Divers Den based on reviews and they did not disappoint. Our dive instructor was Nicole and she definitely was the right instructor for us. We were lucky enough to just have the two of us in our group and Nicole was wonderful. Her enthusiasm and love of diving was contagious and made each dive feel less like a class and more like an adventure. She gave clear expectations and instructions for each dive which allowed us to focus on what we would need to do and was so helpful and patient if we needed explanations or assistance. She was amazing with my daughter and went out of her way to find cool creatures and things to see in order to make our first open water dive super fun as well as instructive. Prices were competitive and the staff was friendly and helpful. Location was very close to dive sites. They had lots of gear to make sure we had the fit and equipment we needed. Only down side was that on the second day Nicole was able to schedule a boat dive for us on their charter boat but the boat experienced engine trouble before leaving the marina. It was unfortunate but completely out of their control and Nicole was able to pivot quickly to get us a great shore dive so we could finish our certification. I understand they were able to get the boat fixed quickly so I wouldn’t be concerned about this for anyone considering diving with them. Highly recommend!

    Rick was an awesome Dive Master! He made the first time divers in our group feel at ease and was super helpful, funny, and very patient! The entire shop was great. I highly recommend Rick and this dive shop!

    Thanks to Ricardo and Divers Den for a great time on our Discover Diving experience. I introduced my daughter to diving for the first time and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Ricardo helped make our experience a memorable one. Thanks.
