In 1985, a Navy hovercraft that measured 100 feet fell apart. The twin aluminum pontoons still stand 10 feet off the ocean floor and are in excellent condition. The hovercraft is quite unusual and would not be considered a dive site unless it was so close to Black Bart. You can still swim laps and glide up and down the stairs.
Scuba Dive Panama City Beach provides daily dive charters. A 40-foot dive boat can hold up to 18 divers. All charters are friendly, professional, and safe.
You can expect visibility between 30'-50' with water temperatures ranging from the 60s in winter and 80s in summer. You should bring gloves for the sharp edges on the wrecks, a dive knife in case you run into some fishing line, and a safety sausage since you’re on a boat trip.
All over the region are historic wrecks. Skin Diver Magazine has named Panama City Beach the wreck diving capital of the South because of these and other artificial corals.
This is a great place to learn how to dive, and it has a wide selection of equipment. The staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. They offer excellent diving classes for both beginners and experienced divers.

Never hold your breath

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.
