Wreck and Bridge Span Dive for Certified Divers

1.Wreck and Bridge Span Dive for Certified Divers

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

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.”

7.Tulamben Diving USS Liberty Shipwreck Scuba Dive

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 186 reviews · from $64Best value

Travel from Ubud to Tulamben for two guided scuba sessions at Coral Garden and the USS Liberty wreck. Beginners can book an instructor, while certified divers receive a private guide. Expect a long road journey, rocky shore entry, Indonesian lunch, rented equipment, and about 30 to 40 minutes underwater at each site.

“The scuba operator was very professional and kept a close eye on us. Shipwreck was a nice dive but let me warn you. The scuba diving is shore diving with large rocks on the beach and in the water. So not a easy dive to get in and out of the water.”
