Panama City Diving

Explore the Gulf's iconic shipwrecks and bridge spans on custom dive boats designed for easy access. From shallow inshore reefs teeming with goliath groupers to deep offshore wrecks like the Empire Mica, Panama City Diving offers daily charters tailored to your certification level.

Panama City Diving operates out of Panama City Beach on the Florida Panhandle, running daily dive charters from their base to local shipwrecks and bridge spans. The operator runs two custom-made 36-foot Newton Dive Boats named Steel Slinger and Narcosis, which are designed specifically for diving with easy water access. The standard inshore trips focus on shallower wrecks like the Black Bart, USS Strength, and Red Sea Tug at depths of 50-75 feet. These sites feature dense shoals of bait fish, pelagic species, and resident goliath groupers weighing between 400 and 600 pounds. Visibility typically ranges from 30 to 40 feet. For more experienced divers, the operator offers offshore trips to deeper wrecks such as the El Dorado and Chippewa at depths of 75-110 feet, requiring advanced certification or nitrox. Specialty excursions include deep dives on the Deep Stim oil field vessel in 135 feet of water and remote all-day charters to the Empire Mica war wreck located 60 miles offshore.
