    Tennessee Diving??

    Hey all, I just found out I am going to Knoxville for 2 weeks for a class at UT. Is there any diving in that local area? I looked at a map and saw a river, but nothing that I would immediately recognize as a dive spot (since I am a NW Fla, coastal warm water weenie). I guess I just have to suck...

    Please help name Denise's Dive Trailer

    There has been lots of discussion about Denise's dive trailer, but no one has "christened" it yet. This weekend at St Andrews, we think we came up with a decent start. However, I know that there is a huge amount of unused creativity out there. So, what ideas do you have? My first shot at this...

    Montgomery Al

    Morrisons Dive report (29 Sept)

    Well, I may as well get this started, since Shagman and Halftime probably won't be heard from for at least another 12 hrs. They can both add their 2 cents (and the second half of the day) once they log on. The day started off great. The air was clear, the sun was up and the traffic was light...

    Morrison Springs - 19 Aug

    An early start this morning paid off in spades! I dove todays first dive with a new dive buddy that has been "dry" for a bit and was itching to get back in the water. Arriving at the springs at 0725, we were greeted with an incredible view of the basin. There was no one else on site, the sun was...

    Anyone planning any dives in the Destin/PCB//PNS/Morrisons area Sunday? I have suddenly found my calendar open and would love to get wet. I saw that SBM had planned on Morrisons, but changed before I could jump on the "buddy-train". (Gotta be quick around that guy!) So, anyone else up for a...

    Educate me @ tides

    Hey gang, I know that it is best to dive Destin Jetties at High Slack tide. My question is, why? In light of the upcoming schedule on the tide charts, it looks like the low tides are better (timing-wise). Anyone care to educate me on the pro's and con's of diving at LOW tide??

    Important "Destin Jetties" thread

    Just a heads up to any of the Dixie Divers that come over to Destin, there is a very important thread in the North Florida forums you may want to see. It deals with a rumor about proposed construction (destruction) near the jetties. I would post the link, but can't figure out how. Mabey one of...

    The imminent destruction of the Destin Jetties??

    Okay, now that I have your attention, I have to ask if anyone out there has the REAL scoop on the rumor that a Destin developer is working on plans to enlarge the harbor.
