Hey folks, you would think by now I would already know this, however.........I'm putting a list of potential dive site suggestions for a local Dive Instructor/Club President (Friends of Barracuda Diver) to do this summer. We are primarily located in north central Alabama (Cullman) and would like to keep it something that could be done easily over a weekend. Small sites and big site suggestions are welcome. We will filter through them later to see what's more appropriate for the interested seekers. Most are new to advanced OW divers, some with cavern, and a few others with only who knows what other speciality cards.

Thanks for any suggestions. If possible just recopy and add your suggestion to the list.

1. Oriskany
2. etc. etc.
 
Check out the Navy Tug, Brass Wreck, three different Liberty Ships(Wallace is my favorite), YDTs, etc.
 
What area are those sites in Mat?

Just out of Orange Beach(AL) and Pensacola(FL), figured you guys were trying to keep the drive time to a minimum.
 
Are you looking for offshore only? There are tons on shore and inland dive sites, I am sure you know. Or maybe not since your cruise control/GPS only goes to ABWA.:D


My short list:
1. Oriskany
2. Destin Jetties
3. Destin Bridge
4. Pensacola Pier
5. Navarre Pier Rubble
6. PC Jetties
7. SBM's secret sailboat I have never seen.

I can list more if that is what you are looking for.
 
this link from dive pros out of pensacola fl has a list of ~26 dive sites and a brief description of each site. range from inshore to offshore dives. the shore dives were pretty much covered, ft pickens, navarre and pensacola pier, and destin jetties. Dive Sites

Thats exactly what I'm hunting for. Doesn't have to be in one particular city or the other, just something that a team leader for a group of 10-20 folks would be interested in making the drive for. Can be anything. Springs, Cavern, Offshore as well. More or less some ideas on some short weekend excursions for a local dive club to be referred too.

And your right about the cruise control. Lol, been 2006 since my gear has seen salt water. However recently have been able to add Marianna to the list.
