Its extraordinary structure is what makes this site so special. Divers can inspect the wheelhouse at 40 feet down. The deck can be found at 66ft below the surface. There are also accesses to the cargo holdings. The ship's head, or toilet, is found outside the wreck on the sand. There is also a smiling skull. A lot of sea life visits the Warsaw Reef nearby.
Panama City Beach has a large collection of artificial reef materials. There are many materials available, including bridge pilings, old piers and specially designed reef habitat. These sites won't attract divers by themselves, but if you see a sunken vessel surrounded with reef modules, it is likely that there will be plenty of fish.
St Andrew's Park's snow-white sugar sand and Shell Island's are stunning. There are many dolphin cruises available. For land lovers, there are attractions such as Pier Park, Shipwreck Island and Ripley’s Believe it or Not. You'll also find the finest fresh seafood (the Firefly she-crab soup is one of our favorites!). Golden sunsets over turquoise blue waters.

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.
