Scubatech

Unlike anywhere in the Panhandle of Florida, Destin is unique in that the limestone outcroppings begin just a few miles off the beach, and are covered with soft corals, sponges, game fish, and an abundance of tropical fish. These ledges are also home to shovel-nose and spiny lobsters. The reefs range from 2-8 feet in height at a depth of 82-95 feet. We offer many types of classes on SCUBA diving to include Open Water and Advanced Open Water classes, just to name a few. We usually dive March through late November, with water temperatures ranging from the mid 60’s in early spring to the low 80’s in the summer.
