The best, most popular scuba diving begins just three miles from the Destin Pass. Destin is well known for its fantastic natural reef system. These reefs are limestone rock ledges covered with soft corals, sponges, and an abundance of tropical fish. They also provide a home for the shovelnose and spiney lobster. These reefs range from two to ten feet in height at a depth of 80 to 110 feet. The observant scuba diver will notice many different types of shells, and the photographer will be surprised at the magnificent underwater scenery.
Wreck diving is also excellent. There are three barges, two Liberty ships, LST landing craft, airplanes, tugboats, the old Destin bridge, and much more. Grouper, cobia, snapper, flounder, and amberjack are some of the most common fish found on the wrecks.
The most popular beach dive for scuba and snorkel is the Destin jetties, at the entrance to the Destin Pass. The jetties are known to attract many game fish as well as the tropical varieties. Shell collecting is popular here for both the snorkeler and the scuba diver. The depth ranges from a few inches to 55 feet with a normal visibility of 30 to 80 feet. It is very important to dive the jetties at the proper tidal stage, so check with our staff for more information.
ScubaTech provides the finest scuba diving instruction available. We also conduct SSI, PADI and NAUI referral classes. ScubaTech is a Universal Referral Facility.
