My favorite shop is Down Under Dive Shop in Gulf Shores. My family has neen vacationing down there for a long time and I make it a point to go diving everytime I'm there. Next trip is in August.

With the Gulf you never know what you're gonna get 'til you've had it. But this year so far has been exceptional for visibility, warmer than usual - excellent conditions. Down Under is good - and there are a ton of good sites. Anybody know if the Whiskey wreck is uncovered right now? If it is that's an interesting shore dive.
Worth it?
Always.
Even when it's bad it's great!

Thanks for the info .I was wondering how the visabilty was. I know there are several wrecks to dive from what i hear. Im new to diving would it be a good thing for a new diver to dive around there?
 
We certify our new divers in the Gulf.
With a little prudence not to dive when the conditions are bad, the Gulf is superb for new divers.

We have some great diving down here. I try to update Dive Reports at least once a week.
I Instruct through Down Under, a few months ago we got a new 46ft Newton Custom Dive Boat. (Nice)
Rick, I think the Wiskey wreck is mostly covered right now.
