About Underwater Diving
What is it like?
Scuba diving in Destin, Florida is an adventure like no other. Scuba diving is a mesmerizing experience. The weightlessness you feel while swimming in the water is almost like flying. You'll also see amazing, unique creatures, such as an octopus trying to blend in with a rock, a hammerhead shark's underbelly as it swims over you or a black snapper as it moves past you with its glittering, red scales. While a lot of first-timers forget hand signals or struggle with breathing through their mask, eventually they get the hang of swimming in the water and learn to be in the moment. Divers also notice the sound of their breathing or bubbles rising to the surface of the water; these noises are typically tuned out after a while.
