Members of the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association and Florida Wildlife Commission generated a report assessing the impact to the reefs. They discovered that the reef adjacent to the Varmar (not shown on our dive map because it’s off Mexico Beach) experienced the most impact since it was in 25' of water, with only 35% of the reef material remaining in the original reef patch. However, the artificial reefs in moderate and deep water remained undisturbed. Below is a graphic from that report showing the path of the hurricane through the reefs and wrecks of Panama City Beach.
SCUBA diving offers serious excitement and we want you as much as us to have fun. Our entry-level SCUBA classes, available through NAUI/PADI & SSI allow you to get your friends, family, and loved ones into the water quickly, while still meeting your individual training needs.

Spearfishing, which is underwater bow hunting, is basically what it sounds like. It isn't difficult or easy to master, but it's also more addictive than crack. This may be the best option for you if your goal is to have clean, ethical, nonindustrial protein. We offer charters to experienced spearfishers, as well as Intro to Spearfishing classes. Here we show you how to dive and teach the basics.
Panama City Beach is the perfect place to take a drive or dive weekend from the South. You can drive home at night, dive Sunday morning, and still be able to meet your no-fly deadline.
One of the premier reef dives is Warsaw Reef. It’s a natural hole with concrete rubble and tire bundles. The fish love it and regularly travel between the hole and nearby wrecks like the Black Bart.
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.
