Try Scuba Diving Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is one of the best drive and dive weekends you can take from the South. You can dive Sunday morning, drive home in time for bed, and not have to worry about your no-fly timeline.
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.
Panama City Beach is home to a wide variety of artificial reef material. Materials include bridge pilings, old-piers, and special designed reef habitat. Although these locations won't attract divers, you can be sure that they will attract fish when there is a sunken ship with reef modules surrounding it.

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.
