Palm Beach Diving

Variety is something you can expect to find while diving in Palm Beach. From sharks to all kinds of tropical fish — all amongst a very color coral reef scene.

My favorite part was having…

Wrecks & Reefs of Palm Beach

We headed out this morning to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to diving in West Palm Beach. Our first dive was a drift on the Corridor wrecks which include the Anna Cecilia, Mizpah, Amaryllis, and more. The current was moving north but at a nice comfortable pace which allowed the divers the opportunity to hover around the wreck. The Anna Cecilia

The Ana Cecilia Wreck — One Month Later

On July 13th, 2016, Palm Beach added a new artificial reef to our collection — the Ana Cecilia wreck. This new 170ft wreck was sunk 300ft. south and 60ft. east of the Mizpah wreck (the Corridor wrecks).

ALLISon Wonderland

Take one peak under the sea and it’s easy to feel as though you’ve been transported to the world of Alice in Wonderland. The cast of characters, in their resplendent colors and shapes, play the parts very well. And no where does the colorful landscape imagined by Lewis Carroll feel more real than taking one glimpse at the reefs and wrecks of West…

Diving Is Even Better In Palm Beach

Whoever came up with the slogan, It’s Better In The Bahamas, obviously never went scuba diving in Palm Beach, Florida. Okay, so diving in the Bahamas is pretty cool, but really… On a day of scuba diving like we had today there isn’t much I miss about the Bahamas. Today’s dives included crystal-clear blue water, a very mild current,…

Broken Scuba Diving Scale

On the scuba diving scale of great diving, today would definitely push the pin to its breaking point. If the crystal-clear, blue water we had on both our dives wasn’t enough of a reward, we spent one of our dives interacting with a very special and popular fish that frequents one of the local reefs. He is affectionately known as Shadow. Why such a name? Well…
