Panama City Beach offers an abundance of excellent dive sites for both beginners and experienced divers. Within miles of the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches there are over 50 artificial reefs to explore, including ships, barges, bridge spans, and hundreds of natural limestone reefs, ranging in depths of 18 feet to 110 feet.
Panama City Beach was directly impacted by Hurricane Michael, which was a category four storm in October 2018. It made landfall in the Panhandle with maximum sustained winds of 154mph. Hurricane-force winds were experienced by more than 650 artificial reefs.
Its unique structure makes it stand out. The wheelhouse can be inspected by divers from 40' below. The deck is located at about 66 feet below the ground and offers access to the cargo hold. The ship's toilet (head) is located outside the wreck, on the sand with a cheerful skull. The nearby Warsaw Reef is home to plenty of marine life.

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.
