Scuba Diving Preparation And Precautions




You can also go snorkeling at St. Andrews State Park. High tide allows you to see the amazing rocky jetties of the park, which allow you to get up close and personal with ocean creatures such as redfish or octopus. Dive Locker provides another excellent charter option. They are known for personalizing their trips and can send you with a US Coast Guard-certified captain on the spearfishing or diving trip to your heart's content. You can choose to drop at natural limestone reefs or an artificial, made from fighter jets.


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.

Panama City Beach boasts a vast array of artificial coral material. Material options include old piers, bridge pilings, and custom-designed reef habitats. While these sites won't attract divers by themselves most of them will draw divers when they are surrounded in reef modules and sunken ships. Warsaw Reef is the best reef dive. It's a natural cave with concrete rubble, tire bundles and other debris. It's a popular spot for fish. They travel to the hole from nearby wrecks, such as the Black Bart.

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).
