I have also dove with Panama City Dive Charters and Captain Pat and his crew are great. Tell me more about this Percy Paine, which side of the jetties and how far out?
I dig my toes into the sand---The ocean is like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket--I lean against the wind-- Pretend that I am weightless and in this moment I am Happy--I wish you were here !! Brandon Boyd
not sure if PCDC has lowered their fill cost or not to compete, but Pat Green's Panama City Dive Charters shop has $5 EAN32 fills.
you can't beat that!
I've always referred to Panama City Dive Center as PCDC as well; but now with Panama City Dive Charter just down the street, it's kinda confusing with two shops close to one another with the same initials.

Agreed.
I've always considered PCDC = Panama City Dive Center. (with Gomez, Rambo, etc at the Corner of Thomas and where you turn towards St Andrews). They've been called PCDC for years.
Pat's shop having same/similar name could be confusing to some.
Still, Pat runs a very good operation. And he started out as a Charter operator before he every opened up the shop. so there wasn't as much confusion then.
Panama City Dive Center nearest to the jetties run a cattle boat. When I use to go out with them it was packed. I get confused as well on the names. In my opinion Pat has the best outfit in Panama City Beach. I have dove with them all and that is who I will be going diving with in October.
Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
Which shops have the earliest hours to be able to rent a tank? I have a group staying in Pcola and we are planning to drive to PDC one morning for the jetties. Tide times are 9ish so we would like to be on site by 8am. Anything open then?

Ideally, you need to be at the park gate (waiting in the long line) PRIOR to opening at 8:00am.
