Shore: Destin Thumb Jetty (bit of a walk, but an old man can do it-sand, watch your reg.) Dive flag.
Destin Bridge (W. side free parking-walk to your right to a point and dive back to bridge) Sign: flag required.
St. Andrews Jetty-- Panama City Beach--dive Gulf side (45' at jetty end) or channel (70')-best dive I've done on Gulf. State Park (fee) Dive flag. Longer walk to gulf side than channel side.
Perdido Pass, Orange Beach, AL (just over FL line).
Whiskey Wreck--Gulf Shores, AL (I haven't done this one)

These are all tide dependent with wicked currents unless diving at slack tide.
Numerous shallow/boring "Bay" or "Sound" side dives -Destin, Okaloosa I., Navarre, Pensacola Beach and some Gulf
side pier or straight shore dives--let me know if you're interested in that sort of thing--Go anytime, not really tide
dependent.
