I have only dove off of Panama City during the COA Convention up there.
I dove on some artificial reefs off Panama City in July. The visibility was
about 30 feet.
We dove off of a charter boat about 20 miles off shore.
I collected two live orange Lyropecten nodosus (beauties) and two Cymatium
parthenopeum, and some Cypraea cervus.
