Man in the Sea Museum visit


Are you going to be visiting Pamana City Beach? If so and you are interested in Scuba Diving I have a great stop for you. My family and I recently took a vacation this summer to Panama Beach Florida. I'm a avid diver and love anything about diving. We found a great museum about diving. Its called Man in the Sea Museum.

It is owned by The Institute of Diving and is a non-profit, educational organization formed in 1977. The museum was created by a group of divers from the U.S. Navy's SEALAB Program and representatives from commercial, academic, scientific, medical, and sport diving fields.

The museum focuses on Recreational, Commercial, and Navel diving gear and subs. Many pictures and displays are all around the museum. My daughter loved to climb in the full sized mini sub.

If you like scuba diving you must stop by take a tour. Its well worth the time. History of diving abounds in this great stop.
