Wish it were otherwise but "no". Closest is Gulf Shores, and Pensacola, both about 3-hour drive, but they are vacation beach spots so you could make a weekend or vacation out of it, nice beach towns.
Any farther west and you get Mississippi Delta silt, and nothing to see anyway. No quarries, and one river dive spot way up north in Toledo Bend, about which I know nothing but photos from there look murky.
What's worth driving 6 hours west for, to Freeport, Texas, is the liveaboard from Fling Charters that takes you out to the National Marine Sanctuaries (Stetson Bank and two Flower Garden Banks, 70 and 90 miles offshore, respectively). Good vis, just warm enough to grow coral on the two Banks. The "Redneck Caribbean" Makes a nice 3-day trip over a weekend, and the area shops book them for dive groups.
Also worth noting are the nearest springs in the Florida Panhandle, Vortex and Morrison. They're 280 miles east so it wouldn't be a day trip. And in the summer, nothing special, spring fed, 68F, which is cold. But in winter it's still 68, which for wintertime, is "warm". I did my cert and rescue classes there.
Dive shop I use is Harry's Dive shop, they do some trips. And also have a big pool that's 16' in the middle, so you can test gear in it.
