St Andrew's Park Jetties is the place to go for shore diving in Panama City Beach. It takes only a short distance from the parking lot and you'll soon be on the water. The beach-side is quite shallow with little boat traffic. If you are crossing over to the channel-side, bring your dive bag. In the rocks of the jetties, you'll find many tropical fish. High slack tidal is the best time to dive. Visibility and current are more clear. St Andrew's Park's Jetties are also an excellent place for snorkeling in Panama City Beach.

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.
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.
