Destin is well know 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.

    What an amazing group of people at Scubatech- No need to look anywhere else for ANY of your scuba needs!!!! I was in Destin over Spring Break and wanted to complete my certification but was a little skeptical because my pool dives in Chicago had been somewhat sketchy (due to my own fears)... I am so lucky to have crossed paths with this group of folks!!!! Everyone on the team went out of their way to make my experience with them ONE I WILL FOREVER REMEMBER. Their love and respect for the sport is evident in the way they took time with me to make sure i got through the certification process safely and at a pace that i was comfortable with (and believe me...they were PATIENT! haha). I hope others introduction to the 'underwater world' is as FABULOUS as mine was- THANK YOU Scubatech!!!! Mollie B.

    Just got back from Destin. Dove with Scubatech and had a great trip. The whole staff was great and friendly and Nancy, our boat captain was awesome, anchored right on the money for every dive. Greg was the divemaster I dove with and he rocked. Rabbi controlled everything topside and did a wonderful job. Thanks to everyone at Scubatech for making my dives fun and enjoyable, I will definately dive with you again when I get back to Destin.
