I am trying to plan a short trip over to the FL panhandle next weekend. Any info or ideas for a mixed group of OW/AOW+ divers nearby to Panama City Beach and maybe even Pensacola.
For starters, we have been targeting Jetty Park for a shore dive. I have done some searching, but have not come across a good write up to dive this site (such as exists for Blue Heron Bridge). A map with entry/exit points and points of interest would be great. Seems like I talked to another diver in the past who described 'drifting' with the current and turning in past the breakers and exiting in a different place, but I would like confirmation from someone with experience on this site.
Max depth?
Timing... Is slack/ high tide important?, like at BHB?
Showers staging areas? etc....
Is there enough here to keep us busy for a 1/2 day of diving?
We might consider a boat dive as well if we can make timing work. Recommendations?
