Scuba Diving Risks




To see the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico and the underwater worlds that surround it, you too can dive fins-first. Our scuba diving courses are perfect for anyone who has ever tried snorkeling. For those vacationers who have limited time and want to squeeze in as much as possible, the Discover Scuba class will be a great choice.


Inshore diving is defined as less than 8 miles from St Andrew's Pass. It is generally safe for open water divers. The Red Sea, a tugboat measuring 125 feet, was installed here in 2009. It is also home to the E. E. Simpson Tug, which sank in 1929. Stage 2 (a Navy platform, which was destroyed in 1984), Fountainbleau Boxcars (2 boxcars with associated reef material) and a pair Voodoo Jets anchoring in Seltzer Reef are other interesting locations. Below is a table listing inshore dive locations in Panama City Beach and their associated bottom depths.

Frequently Asked Questions

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).
