Scuba Dive Panama City Beach offers a variety of water-based snorkeling opportunities, such as Black Bart and St. Andrews State Park. You can see many ocean creatures close up at the park's rocky jetties, including redfish and octopus, when it is high tide.
Scuba Dive Panama City Beach restricts dive trips to only 14 divers to ensure everyone is comfortable and has enough space. Our charters can be accessed by the public, provided there is enough space. We typically run two trips per day during season.
There is quite an extensive collection of artificial reef material deployed around Panama City Beach. Materials range from bridge pilings to old piers to specially designed reef habitat. Most of these sites wouldn’t attract divers on their own, but when you see a sunken ship surrounded by reef modules, you can bet there will be lots of fish down there.
Panama City Beach is a great place to drive or dive from the South. It's possible to dive Sunday morning and return home on time.
