Bringing his extensive experience and concern for safety, Captain Jon has taught several hundred student divers from ages 10 to 82 how to enjoy scuba diving and make it a lifelong endeavor. He started scuba diving when he was 9 years old and earned his PADI Junior Openwater certification at age 11. At age 16 he earned his PADI Advanced Openwater certification and joined the Destin Search and Recovery Team, a volunteer Public Safety Dive Team affiliated with the Destin Fire Department. He later became a full-time Deputy with the Sheriff's Office, tasked with running the Sheriff’s Office Underwater Investigation Unit and did so until he retired in 2011. In retirement, Captain Jon continues to teach SCUBA, Snorkel Squad, and his latest passion - Mermaiding. This opens up new ways to share the underwater world with more people- both young and old. Capt. Jon’s hope is to create a passion for the oceans, rivers, lakes and waterways of our planet in as many people as he can reach. If he can do that, he knows that each and every one he reaches will develop a passion to protect our planet’s waters

Wendy found her passion for SCUBA at age 14, after a DSD experience. In 2017 was introduced to how she could share that passion with other while living on the beautiful island of Oahu. In 2021 she because a full fledged PADI instructor after moving to the beautiful emerald coast. Her claim to fame is a Bubbly personality and a passion for the underwater world!&nbsp;

Destin to Fort Walton Beach Dive Sites

Destin JettiesThe Destin Jetties are one of the most popular dive and snorkeling sites in Destin, Florida, offering an easily accessible shore dive with diverse marine life. Located at the entrance of East Pass, this site provides calm, clear waters during high tide, making it ideal for beginner and experienced divers alike. The jetties are made of large boulders that create a thriving ecosystem, attracting tropical fish, octopuses, crabs, and even the occasional sea turtle. Due to the strong tidal changes, diving here is best planned around slack high tide for optimal visibility and safety.Miss Louise Tugboat The Miss Louise Tugboat is one of the most well-known wreck dives in Destin, located just three miles offshore in about 60 feet of water. Sunk intentionally as an artificial reef, this site attracts schools of snapper, spadefish, Goliath grouper, and barracudas. The wreck sits upright on the sandy bottom, making it a perfect dive for intermediate-level divers looking to explore a sunken vessel teeming with marine life. Over the years, coral and sponges have begun to grow on the structure, adding to its appeal as an underwater photography hotspot.Natural Limestone Reefs Unlike many other Florida dive locations, Destin boasts natural limestone reefs that have existed for thousands of years. These reef formations, located at varying depths, provide a habitat for a diverse range of marine species, including angelfish, grouper, sea turtles, and nurse sharks. The rocky ledges and outcroppings create excellent hiding spots for marine life, making these reefs a favorite destination for divers seeking a more natural underwater environment. These reef sites are found at depths ranging from 40 to 100 feet, offering something for both recreational and advanced divers.Destin’s Offshore Deep WrecksFor advanced divers looking for deep wreck diving in Destin, the offshore sites provide an exhilarating challenge. Destin is home to several large wrecks and artificial reef structures located in deeper waters, typically between 80 and 120 feet. These offshore sites attract bigger marine species, such as eagle rays, amberjack, and even the occasional whale shark. The deep wrecks, including former military vessels and barges, are a fantastic option for divers with Advanced Open Water certification looking to experience the thrill of deep diving in the Gulf of Mexico.Why Destin, Florida is a Top Diving DestinationDestin is known as the “World’s Luckiest Fishing Village”, but it’s also a hidden gem for scuba divers. With emerald green waters, diverse marine ecosystems, and a mix of natural and artificial reefs, it offers something for every diver. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico create ideal conditions for diving most of the year, with the best visibility and marine life activity from May to September. Whether you’re exploring the Miss Louise Tugboat, Destin Jetties, or offshore wrecks, diving in Destin provides a unique and unforgettable underwater adventure along Florida’s Emerald Coast.
