2Black Bart
The 185-foot oil field supply ship sits upright in about 75 feet of water. Her bow points due south. The bridge can be reached at 40 feet and the main deck is at 66 feet. The cargo holds are open for exploration. Divers can also explore the head (complete with toilets) and the galley which still has several appliances. The Black Bart is a popular spot for wreck training and for photography.

4Mac's Reef
Named in honor of Richard "Mac" McCullen. "Divers gotta be tough" was McCullen's motto. Originally a Navy Toolship, it was used by the Navy for many years after decommissioning as a vessel for salvage practice. When it had outlived it's usefulness, the Navy base donated the boat to Panama City Marine Institute for use as an artificial reef. It was sunk in 2008. A granite plaque was also left to memorialize "Mac"
