About Bridge Span 12
Bridge Span 12 is an artificial reef made from the old Hathaway Bridge spans, giving Panama City divers a current-influenced structure dive with steady Gulf fish traffic. The site is a near-shore charter stop, so access is straightforward, but current timing and visibility still matter a lot. It is more about working the span and the fish around it than about any single dramatic wreck feature.
