You won't have to worry about scheduling because classes are small. If you have been certified but have not dived in a while, we offer refreshers. We will put you on the schedule if you give us a call. Sport Diver's summer trip was so successful that a journalist wrote an article about us and the amazing diving off Panama City Beach.



Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association and Florida Wildlife Commission compiled a report on the effects of hurricane-force winds on reefs. The reef next to Varmar (not shown in our dive map, as it is off Mexico Beach), had the highest impact. This was because it was in 25 feet of water. 35% of the original reef materials were still in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Average Diver, at an Average Depth, With an Average Tank

Based on personal experience, an average open-water certified diver using a standard aluminum 80-cubic-foot tank on a 40-foot dive will be able to stay down for about 45 to 60 minutes before surfacing with a safe reserve of air still in the tank.

So just to reiterate: don't grab animals, don't hold them for photo ops, don't go for rides on dolphins or turtles, and don't force puffer fish to inflate (it can be fatal to them).
