Walter. Just trying to see how much intrest there is out there in this area, a bit over looked some time.

Tom . Who do you dive with I work for Down Under some. Most of the sites you named are often excellent. What did you think about them?:tree: :sunny:

The Whiskey wreck, of course...
Sometimes a great dive - sometimes just sand.

I love diving up there, it's just hard to justify a 9 hour drive very often when I have great diving much closer. Having good dive buddies in Panama City makes it easier to justify.

It is about covered up right now, there are 3 or 4 pieces sticking out of the sand, but a person can still get some flounder & sheepshead off her. Still not a bad dive for a beach dive. The next storm may uncover more than we've seen in the past , (who knows)

Last time I dove her was right after a storm... the sand was scooped out more than 10 feet around her, big beams & ribs arching up into the water - tons of fish. It was just *fine*. That would have been four summers ago, I think.

Al,

All of my dives have been with Down Under. I have always enjoyed diving with them. I'm sad to hear the Whiskey Wreck is almost buried. I have always ment to swim out and dive it, but havn't made it yet. I also want to dive the army tanks sometime.

My family doesn't get out to Gulf Shores like we used to, but next time we go we will dive with Down Under again.
