Any recommendation on the scuba diving school near Panama City?

Hi my fellow expats, I am settling down in Panama City and want to learn scuba diving. Would appreciate if anyone can recommend a good scuba diving school near by for complete beginner. Also looking for car pooling buddies (if the diving spots are outside of the city) Thank you!
