Panama City Beach’s latest wreck is El Dorado. Hurricane Michael brought the ship to shore in October 2018. She stood abandoned at the Hathaway Bridge in October 2018, as a constant reminder about the storm's terrible wrath during winter and spring. She started her life at the top of the dive sites in May 2019.
Scuba Dive Panama City Beach offers a variety of water-based snorkeling opportunities, such as Black Bart and St. Andrews State Park. You can see many ocean creatures close up at the park's rocky jetties, including redfish and octopus, when it is high tide.
Panama City Beach has an impressive array of artificial reef material. Materials can be anything from old piers to special-designed reef habitat. Many of these sites don't attract divers but you can bet that there will still be fish down there if there are sunken ships surrounded by coral modules.
St. Andrews State Park is home to some of the most beautiful beach dives on the Emerald Coast. The channel side, on the west jetty, has depths of 70 feet. The rocks at St. Andrews State park attract and hold many sea life species, including octopus red snapper redfish grouper and other tropical fish. It is possible to get the best diving conditions if you are able to spot an incoming tide.

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.
