Diving Smith Lake, NW of Birmingham AL?

[BrantD]

Anyone dove this lake before? My Brother and I will be there this coming weekend (we arrive Thursday afternoon) and thinking of blowing some bubbles together. I've been there once and it seems like a very clean lake. Any idea's where to rent a tank with air? We will be flying into the BHM airport and driving up (I-20 to I-65 to Exit 299, Dodge City), so info on dive shops along the way which might rent a couple of tanks to some out of state divers, or any other info would be appreciated.

If you are interested, Alabama Blue Waters Adventures (ABWA), a local quarry might be an option. Depending on where you are staying on the lake, might determine how far you are from ABWA.
The thread has some contact information. You might want to PM Snepdiver, for local gear rental.

Ok, so I see that this thread is four years old now. Any details on the diving possibilities there? Looking at a kayaking / diving combo trip and I was told the lake clarity was really good.
