    Alabama blue water questions

    it changed hands recently from what i understand - below is a map that should show where most things are. There are two firetrucks one on either side of the training deck off to the side of the shop. Dove it a few times over the last few years. Visibility usually is pretty good. This time of...

    Madison Quarry

    keep us posted - enjoyed the tech days you had with the ability to try out wings etc. Son is young and going to grow so probably long term going to get him a back plate wing setup so it will grow with him. Look forward to having it open again if you can get it all straight with the water board...

    Madison Quarry

    My son has his cert now and would love to bring him up this summer, have dove there a few times in the past and really enjoyed it. Know there has been some issues up there and hope they get resolved - It would be a waste to lose another dive site.

    Diver missing - Pelham, Alabama

    I agree with the odd turn - been checking Google occasionally to see if anything ever gets reported officially. I have not been back to the quarry since that weekend as that was to be my last dive for the year since its starting to turn colder and just lack of time in general.

    Diver missing - Pelham, Alabama

    From what I had put together from a few different sites the lift bag was found earlier in the week (I think Tuesday). When they found it they narrowed the search area down and found him yesterday(Thursday) in the 70 foot range - not sure how close he was to the lift bag. I am sure that till...

    Madison quarry in Huntsville. It did not reopen this year my understanding was permit issues with water works board. Been there several times lots of neat stuff to see. Hope it comes back.

    Port St. Joe Scuba

    Been in the store a few times but have not been out on a charter with them, rented some gear from them several years ago did not have any problems with anything. Seems like good people, but PSJ does not allow for a lot of options. Done some snorkeling in the bay out from St. Joseph State...

    Mexico Beach or Panama City

I know there are seveal artifical reefs etc just out of mexico beach Mexico Beach Artificial...

    Cape San Blas?

    Love the place, but like others have said - without a boat / kayak dont think your going to see much. Shore diving from the state park just lots of sand, and the bay side once or twice its just not deep enough to really drag the extra gear out since you can see pretty much all of it with a...
