The Panama City Beach has a variety of great dive sites, suitable for both beginners as well as experienced divers. Over 50 artificial reefs can be found within miles of the World's Most Beautiful Beaches. There are also bridge spans, boats, bridges, and hundreds upon hundreds of natural limestone reefs. The depths range from 18 feet to 110ft.
Our threshold for offshore diving is more than 8 miles from St Andrew’s Pass. Due to the depths and the open water, these sites require advanced certification, and nitrox cert would be a good idea. Due to the distances involved, these trips don’t run every day. You’ll want to check with the dive shop to see when the next trip is running, or plan a trip with your well-qualified friends, and they might be able to put one on the schedule for you.

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.
