For Divers
For
those more adventurous, Paradise Fishing Village has arranged for diving excursions
with local dive masters. With a history that pre-dates the founding of St Augustine,
Florida, Pensacola’s waters hold a number of intriguing dive spots for those divers
with an interest in history. More recently, the U.S. Navy sank the USS Oriskany
off the shores of Pensacola, making it the world’s largest man-made reef, and
a diver’s dream to explore. In some cases, your dive master will pick you up mere
steps from your room at Paradise Inn, on the Inn’s pier and return you there at
the end of you trip. | Oriskany
Divemaster - Eric Kline Owner
Eric Kline is the premier divemaster in Pensacola. He's been diving these
waters for almost 20 years so he knows which sites are going to be best for your
goals whether it's photography, spearfishing or just sightseeing. After spending
so much time in the Gulf, Eric has a pretty good idea of how dynamic and unforgiving
it can be, so divers regularly rely on his experience to ensure a great time.
