    May-August Dive Buddies Down South

    Hi all. I am heading to the states for a few months and looking to get some diving in while I am in. My weekends are wide open and a 3 day weekend every other week. I am definitely wanting to take advantage of my location in Biloxi, MS and get some diving in.

    I am flexible on location and not scared to drive a few hours to meet up with a group to dive with. Currently looking at diving from Gulf Shores, New Orleans and Panama City Beach.

    I am a PADI DM with a few hundred dives under my belt. I am bringing my own gear with me although I will have to get some more weights when I get in and find a place to rent some tanks. Don't feel like lugging tanks and weights through multiple international airports.

    I am a US Marine living in Japan and headed back to the states for a few months for a school. If interested shoot me an email below.

    Thanks
    James

    Welcome James! I don't know if your schedule includes any weekdays, a buddy and I are looking to do a two tank dive wednesday 5/4 at Ft. Pickens in Pensacola, FL. We also have another buddy coming down late that afternoon and may do a night dive.
    Every dive is an adventure, every adventure is a learning experience.

    Thanks all. I am looking to get out there this weekend and see what all there is. Now looking to dive out of PCB since I have a friend who lives there and I can crash at his place the night before a dive. If all else fails, I will get a room the night before and go that route.

    If you are interested I am doing a Oriskany dive on the 14th (not sure when you get in) and on the 20-22 I am going to be doing my rescue course (not sure of your quals) and besides that just let me know I am in Pensacola and will dive pretty much any weekend until mid July I will be down for school as well.
