Gulf Shores/Pensacola Diving Labor Day weekend

[tazisonetoo]

Coming down to my moms house for labor day and want to dive. I have a friend that isn't certified that wants to just snorkle around while I dive. We don't want to pay for a full price since she isn't diving. I know on larger boats it is half price. Any ideas of who I should contact?

Try this website. Hubby used them back in July and seemed real happy with the Charter. You can also check out MBT Dive Shop they have a few others I think. I think this charter is from that shop as well. Good luck and have a blast.

There are plenty of beach sites with shallow artificial reefs, or wrecks, that would be enjoyable for snorkelers in Gulf Shores/Pensacola. Unless you're snorkeller is trained to freedive 50-60', you'll probably be mostly out of luck with charters.

Beach dive, enjoy, save $$

LOOK INTO PENSACOLA BEACH PIER RUBBLE, NAVARRE BEACH PIER, DESTIN JETTIES, OR ALABAMA POINT JETTIES. ALL OF THE DIVE CHARTERS WILL BE OUT TOO DEEP FOR A SNORKLER TO ENJOY AND IF THEY ARE GETTING OUT OF THE BOAT AND INTO THE WATER I WOULD GUESS THEY WOULD CHARGE FULL PRICE. LOTS OF PEOPLE SNORKLE THE JETTIES AT DESTIN. THEY EVEN HAVE CHARTER BOATS THAT CATER TO SNORKLERS AND DIVERS ON THE DESTIN JETTIES. TRY CALLING THESE GUYS IN DESTIN http://www.scubatechnwfl.com/ (oh crap, just realized I wrote this whole thing in caps, sorry).
