For both experienced and beginners, Panama City Beach is home to many great dive spots. More than 50 artificial reefs are within reach of Panama City Beach, which is home to the World's Most Beautiful Beaches.
Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association, Florida Wildlife Commission and others compiled a report to assess the impacts on the coral reefs. They discovered that the Varmar reef (not shown in our dive map, as it is off Mexico Beach), suffered the greatest impact because it was only 25' deep. However, artificial reefs in medium and deep water remained intact. Below is a graph from that report showing how Hurricane Michael passed through Panama City Beach's reefs and wrecks.

Spearfishing is basically underwater bow hunting. It is difficult to master and not cheap to learn. And it is more addictive than crack. You might want to clean, ethical, and non-industrially-produced protein. We offer both charters for spearfishing experts and closely supervised Introduction to Spearfishing classes. This will help you learn the basics and take you on a spearfishing trip.

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.
