Diver's Notes

Sand at 75 ft, top of bridge at 40. strong surface current, almost none at depth.

Large schools ofbait fish, angels and a couple barracuda.


Bridge Spans
Panama City Divers will invariably end up on a bridge span at some point in their marine adventures. After all there are 14 of them from the old Hathaway Bridge. Essentially these are the steel super structure of the old bridge. Very much like a rail road trestle. They are all generally 110' long 35' high and 25' wide. Their regular structure makes them very easy to navigate and stay oriented on. The large amount of fish present keep them exciting and the "salvage" opportunities are always fun as fisherman lose many anchors on these sites. Spans are scattered all over offshore Panama City from shallow to offshore and are often referred to by numbers 1-14. Numbers 15 and on are not from the Hathaway Bridge. Spans 1, 2, 5, 6, 12, and 14 are in the "inshore" area.
