Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association members and Florida Wildlife Commission produced a report that assessed the impact on the reefs. They found that the Varmar reef, which isn't shown on our dive map as it's off Mexico Beach), had suffered the most damage since it was in 25 feet of water. Only 35% of original reef material was left. The artificial reefs in shallow and medium water remained unaffected. Below is an illustration from that report which shows the path the hurricane took through the wrecks, reefs, and beaches of Panama City Beach.

Shore diving in Panama City Beach starts with the St Andrew’s Park Jetties for good reasons. It’s a short walk from the parking lot to the beach, and soon you’re in the water. The beach-side is shallow, with no boat traffic. Make sure you bring your dive flag if you cross over to the channel side. You’ll find plenty of tropical fish living in the rocks of the jetties. The visibility and current are much better during high slack tide, which is the ideal time for this dive. St Andrew’s Park jetties are also one of the best places for snorkeling in Panama City Beach.

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.
