Big Blue Dive Boat operates out of Panama City, Florida, offering a focused selection of scuba dive charters that explore shipwrecks, reefs, bridge spans, and offshore sites. The company lists four primary trip options: a 3 Tank Wreck Dive (a six‑hour outing with three wreck dives to depths between 50 and 100 feet and complimentary snacks and drinks aboard), a 2 Tank Offshore trip (about 5.5 hours with two offshore dives visiting wrecks, bridge spans, and reefs with refreshments provided), a 2 Tank Inshore option, and a Private Charter - Custom service for groups.
The Private Charter - Custom accommodates up to 12 divers, is available any day of the week, and supplies all necessary gear for that private experience. For the 3 Tank Wreck Dive and the 2 Tank Offshore trip, participants are asked to bring certification and personal dive gear as specified in the trip descriptions. All charters depart from Panama City, Florida, and focus on local dive sites where marine life sightings can include red snapper, rays, and sea turtles when present.
Big Blue Dive Boat emphasizes clear trip durations, multi‑tank wreck and reef exploration, and customizable private group experiences. Prospective divers should review each trip listing for certification requirements, equipment notes, and exact departure information before booking to ensure appropriate preparation and compliance with trip-specific guidelines.
