Set off from Panama City, Florida, on an exhilarating 6-hour, 2-tank SCUBA dive that plunges you into some of the Gulf of Mexico’s most riveting underwater landscapes. This offshore excursion, operated by Neptune Charters at 5505 Sun Harbor Rd. #1, takes certified divers deep into vibrant and crystal-clear waters ranging from 60 to 100 feet.
