Hey everyone, It has been a while since I've been on the site. I am currently in Orange Beach and it appears they are creating a artificial beach that is reachable from shore. I wasn't aware of this, but it has been cool to watch this morning. Does anyone know more? Main area being worked...

I hit 3 mile with down under and also used Niuhi out of pensecola. There was a tug and a barge. I dont have the names in front of me and i dont remember the water temp at depth.

Memorial day week the temps were comfortable in a 3 ml. At the end of the dive there was a very warm layer. On the two days I was diving the seas were hit and miss. Vis was between 20 and 50 and improved with depth. The top 15 feet there is a layer of algae, but that ends suddenly and opens...

Thanks for offering!

My Memorial day dive was cancelled by the operator. I now have a dive with Down Under out of Gulf Shores to hit Poseidon's Playground on Wed of that week. Before that dive though, I have a dive out of Pensecola the Sunday before Memorial Day. I am thinking of rescheduling that one to be with...

So, Thanksgiving is a time to come together with family. You eat, sleep, laugh, watch football (American) and visit. If the family is all going then it shouldn't be an issue. For most families all married to others we split it over three weeks usually so everyone can be with everyone else...

So I am all over the place on this. At the moment I think I am considering a 5mm Henderson Thermaxx. I like the stretchyness and the fact the 2XL comes in a tall. Also considering a hooded vest, not sure the thickness. I think I'm going to go with a 2 to 3 mm glove. I am hesitant about...

Thanks to everyone for the information. I noticed leisure pro has the Thermaprene 5mm at a pretty decent price. Get that plus hood and gloves and we will see. Before I do that I am going to visit a different shop and see what they have to offer.

In my Open water we were in a quarry in July so the surface temp was comfortable without anything. In my Advanced I was in a 5mm with hood and gloves but I didn't stay at depth long since my gear had a malfunction. I think the temps at depth were low to mid 60's

I recently purchased a 3mm Aqua Lung Aqua Flex from my local dive shop. I purchased this on their advice with the info I was planning to use it in the Gulf Shores, Orange Beach areas and the Caribbean. Current water temps are mid 60's and by the time I hit the water it may be around 70 on...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and to diving in general. I posted an intro in the proper section so I won't repeat my story here. I just picked up a 3mm wetsuit and my BCD after lunch. I was actually able to get in a pool for a while with the gear, which was great. I ended up getting...

@RyanT that is the plan. The second dive was going to be with a different operator if I can find one doing the dive I want to do.

I have a dive scheduled out of orange beach on memorial day in a few weeks for 3 mile (I think that is the same dive as the Poseidon Playground). I am thinking of finding an inshore dive for Wed or Thursday of that week. Do you recommend a specific diving operator?

Hello! As the title says I am from Alabama and was able to get certified 2 years ago. That summer was fanastic as my kids schedule let me get my Open Water, Advanced and Rescue Diver certification. Getting those certs one after another in a large quarry has left me feeling a bit unskilled and...
