The best, most popular scuba diving begins just three miles from the Destin Pass. 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.
