About Oceaneering Reel 1A Reef

Oceaneering Reel 1A Reef is an artificial reef in the federal Gulf waters off Panama City, Florida, at coordinates 30.0264, -85.9262. The site belongs to the network of deployed structures that adds hard-bottom habitat to the otherwise open sand of the northeastern Gulf. Its placement in federal waters puts it beyond state-managed nearshore zones, so it draws boaters running offshore from the Panama City area. Artificial reef structure of this kind concentrates baitfish and the predators that follow them, which makes the reef a fixed point to mark and revisit. A GPS fix on the listed coordinates is the starting point for locating the structure, since the exact depth and layout of the deployment are not on file.
