Cavern now available in doubles!

Interested in completing our cavern course but you have been diving doubles? Current PADI standards dictate that students only use a single tank set up during their Cavern Diver course. We didn't think this was appropriate for a scuba diving course involving an overhead environment.

Fresh water v. salt water - what's the difference? There actually is quite a difference. Not only do you experience a different variety of aquatic life in fresh water than you do in salt water, but you also experience completely different environments.

Dive Reports

St. Andrews Jetty, Panama City Beach 6/21/08 -
We got back to the jetties after a few months in fresh water only and only 2 days after the Hammerheads were there. We first headed out to the Chickasaw wreck a couple miles off shore and did a dive there. Visibility was about 25', water temperature above the thermocline was 86 degrees and below it was 74 degrees. There were lots of jellies and stingy things in the water. We were wearing full length wet suits, though, and escaped relatively unharmed. Lots of life on the Chickasaw, including a lone Remora.

After the Chickasaw, we headed over the the jetties. We began our dive a couple of hours after high tide, but the current wasn't that bad at the time. We dropped in over the shallow end of the jetties and started swimming south. Visibility was about 10' with a mild current. Water temperature was 86 degrees. About half way into the dive, current picked up immensely. We were able to drop down and hide behind the jetty rocks, but decided to call the dive short because it wasn't any fun anymore. Funny thing is there were other divers just starting to get into the water when we got out, including some instructors and students!

It was a good dive, but next time we'll plan better so we can dive around high tide.
