I have only dove with Horizon, so it is hard to say they are better than any other dive shop; but I have only dove with Horizon because they are a really decent dive operation.
They have onsite gear storage if you are diving multiple days: great to not have a wetsuit dripping all over your...
Be extremely wary of the boat traffic anytime of the year, there. I have had my dive flag pulled up by boaters, and been ticketed by marine patrol for diving with no flag (when I had one), and even ticketed for "swimming" too close to a public boat ramp. A day in court cleared up all the...
Yes, the ocean is the natural habitat of all sorts of sharks--they are always there, whether you see them or not. The idiot(s) that yanked the hammerhead out of the water by the tail is being sought after by both the Florida FWC and the State Park Rangers for their illegal behavior. The...
For the 3rd, the best time would be to be there right at 8am; get in two good dives before the water gets flowing back out to the gulf from the rivers.
I have a flag, and would be bringing it regardless, so there is no real need to worry about that (the post above was more for if you decided to...
So in case anyone is wondering he holds the world record once again:
6 days, 1 hour, 31 min, 22 seconds; finished on 2 Aug 2013

My wife and I dive St Andrews State Park Jetties pretty regularly and would be in the area during that time period (we live about an hour away). Our schedule is pretty open that week, and would be available to assist if needed. The park opens at 8 am and diving close to the time of the mean high...
I posted a question on the FWC website asking about getting the rules changed in the state parks to allow lionfish harvesting with the spears designed specifically for said task: the reply came back from FWC:
Thank you for contacting the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The...
I dove with them three days in a row last October; I had a blast, air is included in the price, Nitrox was a couple extra dollars; very good dive operation!
I would recommend them in a heart beat; I will be diving with them again this Labor Day-ish! We did the Spiegel Grove, one or two reefs...
We went out Sunday (16 June) on the Steel Slinger out of Panama City Dive Charters and had a great couple dives; we had 50+ foot vis on the Red Sea and 50-60 foot vis on bridge span #12; water temps around 74, seas at 1 foot or less. Shot a lionfish on the Red Sea. Great operation, very...
I think there is some confusion when you plug coordinates into internet maps using degrees, minutes, seconds; the coordinates with the decimal point (Decimal degrees) simplify all that. Check out the converter for coordinates anywhere GPS Coordinate Converter, Maps and Info
Yeah, I get just about the same thing, but that is what is listed on the Alabama Dept of Natural Resources Saltwater fishing guide.
The track LuLu site had her at Latitude : (N) 29.99252 Longitude : (W)-87.55197
At 1435 on the day she was sunk.
That works out much better on Google Earth and...
She is about 17 nautical miles south of Perdido Pass in Orange Beach, AL (latitude/longitude coordinates for the ship's wheelhouse: 29° 59.520'/87° 33.037')
Sinking the LuLu off of Orange Beach, AL - YouTube
The last few moments on the surface for the LuLu; she will only be seen by divers and people who watch divers' videos and pictures.
The sinking will be Sunday, around noon-ish; I will be there with the wife. We are diving it on Tuesday also.
It has to be in deep water to avoid being a hazard to maritime navigation. The LuLu is so tall that several feet of her highest point (antennae mast) had to be removed to ensure that...
I took this long walk through VERY loose sand this past weekend; it is around 200 yards, and feels like 300...the water temperature was much closer to a brisk 64*(average) than 68*, and the lowest I saw was 61* at 50 feet. St Andrews State Park (Panama City Beach) has a jetty with a shorter &...
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2538234431226.70895.1714613633&type=1&l=a2cc3cd7f3 Here are some pictures from our Oriskany dive last fall; We had a blast! This is all within recreational limits, we never went below 130'.
There is nobody that can answer that question, but you. The Oriskany is a great wreck to go see, and you can see plenty without ever going deeper than 100 feet. The Oriskany is also a great deal more complicated to dive since it is quite a bit farther offshore than many divers ever venture...
