Hello! I'm moving to Panama City, Panama in August and am looking for a place to dive regularly without too much travel (such as Portobelo or Taboga). Mainly it's to keep up my own skills/practice, but I'd also like to get involved with conservation/ coral restoration. Eventually, I am hoping to start a student dive club (I'm a teacher), as a way to promote more interest/ involvement in ocean conservation. So basically, although I will certainly go to the 'best' places in Panama (like Coiba), I want something closer to where I live/work to get more involved between longer trips... Any recs for dive shops?

Welcome to Panama, I hope you find the life you are looking for.
The best option in my opinion if you are in the city and do not want to travel far is Portobelo, I recommend Rey from Golden Frog Scuba.
In my opinion Panama has the potential to become a major dive destination but as many things here the gap between potential and reality feels insurmountable at times. An independent diving club that promotes diving and conservation would be a great idea, let me know if you want to give it a shot.
