There are many excellent diving spots in Panama City Beach for both novice and advanced divers. There are more than 50 artificial reefs within a few miles of the World's Most Beautiful Beaches. These include bridge spans, ships, barges and hundreds of natural limestone coral reefs. They range in depth from 18 to 110 feet. St. Andrews State Park's jetties offer some of the best beach diving on the Emerald Coast.


The rocks attract and host a variety marine life, including octopus red snapper redfish grouper and other tropical fish. It doesn't get better if you plan your dive to catch an incoming tide. Check out our videos.

Technical divers go beyond recreational diving. These divers can dive deeper, farther, higher, and more overhead, using different gas mixtures to meet nrcosis or decompression requirements. You are a skilled diver who wants to see the deepest part of the pool. This is how you can get there. We offer Intro to Tech, Advanced Nitrox, Deco Procedures and Trimix. Advanced Trimix is also available.

This is a great place to take a weekend trip or for a longer stay. Below is the Panama City Beach dive map. Each pin contains more information about each dive site. We strive to be accurate, but this map is not meant for navigation.

Panama City Shore Diving


The best time to go for this dive is when the current and visibility are at their highest. St Andrews Park's jetties are also great for snorkeling in Panama City Beach. In 1985, a Navy hovercraft 100' in length fell into the ocean. The twin aluminum pontoons rise 10' above the ocean floor in good condition and are still in good repair. Although the hovercraft looks unusual, it is unlikely that it will be a featured dive site. You can still swim laps and float up and back along the staircase.

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).
