I've seen most of the artificial reefs and wrecks around Panama City and am looking for some natural limestone or or boulder formations that hold interesting life in about 75 ft of water. I have my own boat and want to venture out. Does anyone know of any spots like this and have confirmed GPS numbers? I'd sure appreciate any help with these types of locations. Thanks!

Most fishermen and divers are loathe to share their private numbers for limestone reefs due to the good fishing there and lack of pressure from other boats. That said hear are some not so top secret numbers;
Heaven Reef
N30 10.765 W85 53.883
Warsaw Hole
N30 03.321 W85 48.809
Beyond that you'll need to put your time in watching the bottom machine for good spots on your surface intervals. Hint head to the Tarpon and and points west for some good spots that you won't likely ever have to deal with other boats already being on.
The really impressive stuff is further West and the really really impressive stuff is offshore in 115-150 but that is borderline tech diving and you may want to check out a charter boat like www.panamacitydivecharters.com to get you to the more impressive ledges.
