Dive Locker is a new dive shop that can be a great asset for divers. You can also get certified by PADI, the largest scuba certification agency in the world. You will be a better diver and more confident thanks to their expertise.
Adley Baker, one of the crew members, was able to swim 9 miles in gale-force wind to reach shore. It was a 25-hour marathon, but Adley Baker lived to tell the story. Grey Ghost is a long offshore dive that takes between 6-8 hours.
Enjoy the excitement of diving at exciting depths in expertly selected locations. You can see why Panama City Beach has become the second most visited dive destination in Florida.
We do strive for accuracy. St Andrew's Park Jetties is the place to go for shore diving in Panama City Beach. The beach is a short walk away from the parking area. Soon you will be in the water. The beach is very shallow and there is little boat traffic. If you are crossing to the channel side, be sure to bring your diving flag. Many tropical fish live in the rocks at the jetties.
We also offer closely supervised Introduction to Spearfishing classes that will teach you the basics of spearfishing and help you to take your first dive. Divers with different levels of experience can choose from a range of classes to earn their certification. Daily dive charters are offered by Dive Locker.
On our last trip you could still see the "Happy Holidays", unidentified townsfolk on her deck, for all the cars passing by the bridge. Our definition of inshore diving includes less than 8 miles from St Andrew's Pass. Open water divers are generally safer. Red Sea, an 125-foot tugboat, was built in 2009 and is a notable dive.
There are many options when it comes to training. Your safety should always be your first concern. With a combined experience of over 50 years, our staff is among the most skilled in the world. They have taught thousands of people just like you how safe to dive underwater.
An Average Diver, at an Average Depth, With an Average Tank
Based on personal experience, an average open-water certified diver using a standard aluminum 80-cubic-foot tank on a 40-foot dive will be able to stay down for about 45 to 60 minutes before surfacing with a safe reserve of air still in the tank.
So just to reiterate: don't grab animals, don't hold them for photo ops, don't go for rides on dolphins or turtles, and don't force puffer fish to inflate (it can be fatal to them).
