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.
Panama City Beach is the perfect place to take a drive or dive weekend from the South. You can drive home at night, dive Sunday morning, and still be able to meet your no-fly deadline.
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.
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.
