How can I scuba dive cheaply



Our definition of inshore diving is less than 8 miles from St Andrew’s Pass and generally safe of open water divers. Notable dives here include the Red Sea, a 125' tug boat installed in 2009, and the historic wreck of the E.E. Simpson Tug that sank in 1929. Other interesting sites include Stage 2 (a Navy platform that was demolished in 1984), the Fontainebleau Boxcars (two boxcars and associated reef material), and a pair of Voodoo jets anchored in Seltzer Reef. Below is our table of inshore dive sites in Panama City Beach with associated bottom depths.

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.

What are dive lockers






Scuba Dive Panama City Beach's newest dive shop is an additional asset. The shop is also a good place to get certified by PADI. Their knowledge and experience will help you become a more confident diver.

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.
