An 184-foot long Navy minesweeper tender with 33-foot beam was sunk in 1987 to serve as a diving rescue training site. The bow was broken by storms and fell to the port side. The boat's rest is intact, and it sits upright at 20 feet above the bottom.
There are so many great options that Panama City Beach is a top-rated dive destination in Florida. You can dive into the Gulf of Mexico with your fins to see the treasured underwater worlds and marine life that we call home.
Its unique structure makes it stand out. The wheelhouse can be inspected by divers from 40' below. The deck is located at about 66 feet below the ground and offers access to the cargo hold. The ship's toilet (head) is located outside the wreck, on the sand with a cheerful skull. The nearby Warsaw Reef is home to plenty of marine life.
Scuba Dive Panama City Beach, Florida's premier full-service Dive Center, is also an Aquatic Training Facility. The beautiful Panama City Beach location gives divers direct access to miles upon miles of white sand beaches and shipwrecks as well as freshwater springs and natural reefs. Our staff can help you prepare for anything, whether you are looking to swim with sharks or explore hidden relics below.

Never hold your breath
As every good entry-level dive student knows, this is the most important rule of scuba. And for good reason — breath holding underwater can result in serious injury and even death. In accordance with Boyle's law, the air in a diver's lungs expands during ascent and contracts during descent.
As you become a qualified scuba diver, you learn the basics of an essential scuba system. A cylinder, weights, an exposure suit, regulators, BCD gauge and timing device, mask and fins are the bare essentials.
