Scuba Forum / General / February 2008Panama city diving?
I have mooched a condo with some freinds over spring break & would like some input on decent diving in the Panama area. Any where in particular have decent reefs or sea life? Thanks for the tips! Rob > I have mooched a condo with some freinds over spring break & would like some > input on decent diving in the Panama area. Any where in particular have > decent reefs or sea life? Thanks for the tips! > Rob Long boat rides, old oil towers, some sunk, some still standing, many cut off to allow maritime traffic without hazard. Lots of artificial reefs, most wasted by the hurricanes. The link below will hook you up with some dive ops there, I will put out an e-mail to a couple people I know, so ping me offline and I'll have more for you. http://www.florida-scuba.com/panama.htm anything right off shore worth the time & trouble? > anything right off shore worth the time & trouble? Not that I am aware of, but I am still waiting for returns from some who would know. However, if you get landlocked there is lots of stuff to see in that area; http://underwaterflorida.homestead.com/merrit.html http://www.floridastateparks.org/poncedeleonsprings/default.cfm http://www.supsalv.org/NEDU/nedu.htm http://www.floridastateparks.org/floridacaverns/default.cfm http://www.eglin.af.mil/ http://www.destin-ation.com/airforcearmamentmuseum/ And if you get the chance, catch the Mutt Brothers in Dothan, Panama City or wherever they may be. > anything right off shore worth the time & trouble? You're pretty close to many of the springs in Florida... The closest spring to there is Vortex Springs... Great scenery during the summer when you get those teenage redneck girls with their Confederate flag bikinis walking around... Since the water is around 70F, they also tend to be a bit perky...

Signature"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow... For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." ~Jeff Snyder~ you dont need a boat to get to it? >> anything right off shore worth the time & trouble? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > It's off Pensacola, relatively near by. >you dont need a boat to get to it? No. It's about a half day swim from shore. > >you dont need a boat to get to it? > > No. It's about a half day swim from shore. Forget about depth and penetration records, I'd like to see the first diver to shore dive the Oriskany. Like any channel swimming challenges, the diver could have full boat support, switching off scooters and rebreathers as needed. I'll volunteer if the sponsors pay for it all. > > anything right off shore worth the time & trouble? > Uh, > The largest wreck in the world? > It's off Pensacola, relatively near by. http://www.visitpensacola.com/static/index.cfm?contentID=125 |
