Wreck and Bridge Span Dive for Certified Divers

3.Wreck and Bridge Span Dive for Certified Divers

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 521 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $115

Join Panama City Diving for about four hours on two underwater sites off Panama City Beach. Certified scuba divers visit a shipwreck and bridge span at 50 to 75 feet, with Ben and the crew handling safety, site guidance, snacks, drinks, and optional rental gear.

“Safety is the key word for this dive shop. Set my mind at ease being by myself for the dive to say the least. The DM (Ben) could not have been more accommodating to the less experienced onboard. He (and the boat captain) made sure everyone knew how to use not only the rental gear, but also customers own gear that they weren’t sure how to setup. Visibility was decent given the recent storms (15-25’). All in all, definitely recommend for the novice as well as beginners in the diving world.”
