The 14 Best Wreck Dives

1.Wreck and Bridge Span Dive for Certified Divers

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

Join Panama City Diving for two underwater sites in the 50 to 75 foot range. Certified divers explore a shipwreck and bridge span with guide Ben, modest current, and snacks, fruit, water, and Gatorade aboard. Rental scuba gear costs extra.

“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.”

5.Waikiki 2 Tank World Class Wreck SCUBA Diving – Certified Only

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 205 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $269

“I had a great dive with Dylan and Yoshi! Dylan was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone on our dive was prepared and Yoshi kept everyone safe. The shop was really convenient to get to from anywhere in Waikiki, but the reason I chose this center was because it was a 5 minute walk from my hotel and then they took us to the harbor. We saw lots of Honu and tropical fish on our dives, and the entire team was so helpful with our gear.”
