Grey Ghost is a long offshore dive that takes 6-8 hours. Although she is only a 105-foot vessel, the amazing diversity of aquatic life makes this dive extraordinary. The natural reef she came to rest on was enhanced with fiberglass boats and scrap metal, making it an ideal spot for fish habitat.

1985 saw the sinking of a Navy hovercraft 100 feet long. The twin aluminum pontoons rise 10 feet from the ocean floor and remain in good shape. Although the hovercraft may be unusual, it would probably not make an excellent feature dive site. It's still fun for swimmers to do laps around this structure and to float up the stairs.

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.

Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association, Florida Wildlife Commission and others compiled a report to assess the impacts on the coral reefs. They discovered that the Varmar reef (not shown in our dive map, as it is off Mexico Beach), suffered the greatest impact because it was only 25' deep. However, artificial reefs in medium and deep water remained intact. Below is a graph from that report showing how Hurricane Michael passed through Panama City Beach's reefs and wrecks.

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.
