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.
Our definition of inshore diving includes less than 8 miles from St Andrew's Pass. Open water divers are generally safe here. Red Sea, a 125 foot tug boat that was constructed in 2009, and the E. E. Simpson Tug wreck, both of which were notable dives. Stage 2 (a Navy platform) was demolished in 1984. Fontainebleau boxcars (two container cars and associated reef material) are also interesting. A pair of Voodoo aircraft anchored in Seltzer reef is another example. Below is a table that shows the locations of inshore diving in Panama City Beach along with their bottom depths.

St. Andrews State Park's jetties offer some of the best beach diving on the Emerald Coast. The channel side of St. Andrews State Park's west jetty is 70 feet deep in some spots. The rocks are home to a variety sea life including red snapper, redfish and grouper. It doesn't get better if you dive just in time to catch the incoming tide.
Panama City Beach is an excellent place to go on a weekend drive and dive. You can dive Sunday morning, return to your hotel in time for bed and not worry about your no fly schedule.
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.
