Recreational Diving

One of the best kept secrets of the Forgotten Coast is close access to numerous dive sites with many small dive operators in Port St. Joe. The area offers shallow dives on historical sites such as the Lumber Ship, at 25 feet deep, and deeper dives, such as the 463-foot long Empire Mica, a British Tanker sunk by a German submarine during World War II, and considered one of Florida’s best wreck dives at 108 feet deep.

In addition to natural ledges, shrimp boats and barges, the Mexico Beach Artificial Reef Association (MBARA) has established over 200 reefs since 1997, which have become a haven for our healthy fish population in the gulf. Their web site, www.mbara.org, offers photos, GPS locations and videos.
