Panama City Beach Is Calling: The 2026 Reunion Is On
Brothers — it's official. September 2026, Panama City Beach, Florida. The 2026 USADA Reunion is locked in, and this one's shaping up to be something special.
If you've been to a reunion before, you know the real magic doesn't happen on a schedule. It happens in the hospitality suite at 2300 when somebody pulls out a photo nobody's seen in thirty years, and the stories start. That suite opens Thursday afternoon this year and stays open through the evenings — earlier than ever, because we know that's where the heart of this thing lives.
Here's what's on deck:
Friday night social — the whole community in one room.
Saturday BBQ at the Man in the Sea Museum — food trucks, BYOB, and a setting that actually means something to divers.
Golf tournament, Top Golf, a shooting competition, a brewery tour, a Navy Dive School tour — something for every speed.
Auctions and raffles to support the Association.
A few things are different this year, and they're worth knowing up front. Most events are pay-as-you-go — we've negotiated group rates, but you book and pay for what you actually want to do. That keeps costs down for everybody and the Association lean. The main events (Friday and Saturday nights) have set prices now, and you can pay right through the website.
One more thing that's uniquely ours: the museum has given Army Engineer Divers an 8x8 wall to decorate — and we're filling it with the stuff that tells our story. Not standard gear. The statue built downrange. The gift from a host nation. The one-of-a-kind piece that makes someone stop and ask, "what is that?" If you've got something, bring it.
Whether your last dive was in 1971 or last Tuesday, there's a seat at this table for you. Book your room, grab your tickets, and come tell us a lie or two.
