Looks like I will have to do a little shopping as I only have a 3mm that I use year round here. Our favorite critters to watch are spotted eagle rays, manta rays, and the white tip reef shark. We seen the manta rays once and had to hop over to Kona to see those at night.
When I teach in the Jetties, I usually go into the Kiddie Pool and over the Jetty wall from there. The weekend when I filmed, I actually didn't have any students, so was able to just hang out and dive for myself. Sounds like you have a great trip planned! It's looking like I may be running a trip down there during that time. Good luck with your trip, and try not to pull any of the big neoprene coated fish out of the water :) Thanks for watching!
Welcome to the area. There are a number of good dive sites off of Panama City. You'll also be able to see a surprising amount of sea life. I've even dove with Whale Sharks off of Panama City Beach - only one time, but did see them there. I use the Dive Locker, but there are a number of other shops and independent operators as well. I wear a 3 mm June-September, 5 mm on the shoulders of that and drysuit in winter. Check out my other vid to see deeper water dives.
Great video. Have a friend who teaches diving in PC. (Mark Elliot). May know him. Where on the jetties were you. Middle, near Kiddie pool, or toward end? We are booked for June 23-30. Might go into park and fish. Sure would like to get a keeper scamp grouper. The sheep head, and mangrove snapper would do good as well. Caught reds last trip to PC. I know Kings will be running as well. Anyways, great video.
It was. I've had some really nice, peaceful dives off of the jetties, and it was really great for spending some time with my camera! Thanks for watching!
I use a Panasonic DMC-TS3 for all of my outdoor videos. I really like it and it does pretty good video in a waterproof/shock resistant package. I found an underwater housing for it through Ikelite, so I can now use the same camera for above and below water.
Looks like we are moving close to that area soon. Are there many good dive sites and operators in the area? I take it you wear more than a 3mm wetsuit there.
Definitely! The underwater world is really a captivating place! Wouldn't trade my dive experiences for anything.

Looks like it was a blast. I really enjoy diving there.

Nice video. Really like the music. What is the song/group and where can I find it?
