It appears that you can no longer get to the site... It's a blank screen. Perhaps this means they are in process of getting it back up.

Ok, trying to get some prices for the GCDS folks, trying to get some stuff planned... what goofball took over the vortex springs website and turned it into their personal page that just references "hey we can train at vortex? Does vortex have another site with information on it? Actually I...

Alot of good advice here. I'm fairly new, got 24 dives and originally I was getting about 30-35 minutes on an AL 80 at 30-50 ft. The more I have dove and become comfortable with my gear, I have been more relaxed and my air has increase significantly. I'm now up to around 50-60 minutes. Just...

I like what the above post said, flat out you can certainly take your business elsewhere. I'm about to purchase a computer, I could order it and get it $50-$75 less, but I am going to purchase at my local shop to support them, because I am fortunate enough to have an excellent shop within an...

The Gulf Coast Dive Society has a FB page now with over 300 members, group is VERY ACTIVE in planning trips all throughout the week. GulfCoastDiveSociety.org will redirect your straight to the FB page. Come join us and meet some great new dive buddies. There is never a shortage of folks...

There can be a big difference in speed of the current. Me and DocCarl were at Pickens last thursday and we had some decent current before the high tide. Once it goes back the other way, it can get pretty stout again. But, I have never been there and it was un-divable. May have to hold onto...

my guess is probably no at this time, though I am not sure.

I talked to the park rangers yesterday. They are in the works of getting something passed so u can have a pole spear for that very reason. They haven't pushed for it too much because no sightings until yesterday. Hopefully that will change soon.

We spotted this guy on the large truck tire that's standing straight up in about 20' of water right where you enter, the place where most folks tie up their flags. He was pretty much hidden except for the tips until we got close, then he came out, but if you aren't looking you could easily get...

Just posting this again, this is the Gulf Coast Dive Society Facebook site. There are now over 250 members and there are always trips being posted. Its very active, by far best way to find local trips. Hope to see ya there if you aren't already there...

Good afternoon everyone. Quite a few folks have mentioned having a centralized place to post dive trips, find buddies, etc. So here is the Gulf Coast Dive Society Facebook page. Come on by, check out trips coming up, there is a GCDS gathering planned for early May at the Rivershack, and come...

Will do man, I need to bring my tanks into the shop this week and get em topped off and ready for next time, probably tomorrow.

I'm going to have some free time between leaving this job next week and starting school at end of May, I will see about creating a facebook page for divers on Gulf Coast to post trips and things like that if some folks think it might be useful.

Dang! Wish i could go this weekend! Conditions were good last week. Lots o sun and pretty clear water. Ya'll have a good one. MMMMM Beer and Burger off gas.

There is a beach cleanup/dive scheduled for this Saturday. More info on the Gulf Coast Diver Facebook page, but wanted to post here just in case anyone came here as well. Folks are meeting up over at St. Andrews around noon. High tide is around 4:30ish. Email Blake Smith at...

Yeah, some folks will post on the GCD site. Good folks there, also have a "buddy board" in the shop where you can get contact info. I just put mine up there today actually when i went to pick up something from the shop. I had thought about creating a facebook page dedicated to GC Dive Society...

I have never been there, will have to go sometime. Let us know how the conditions are!

Aw man! Sucks since the hurricane I am having to work 7 days a week now for the foreseeable future. My dive season is about over for the year I'm afraid. Glad ya'll had a good trip! I guess the silver lining is making good money so i can finish out my gear outfitting and be ready to dive...

Sorry man, i'm in process of moving still and I don't have internet at the apartment, so i didn't get this until after we were back, have not done Portofino, however i've been wanting to. Conditions were ok, vis was about 5 ft down to about 20 feet, then after that, it increased to around...

Planning on getting there around 12:30, get in the water around 1 or 1:15, then do another dive around tide change which i believe is 3:00 if anyone else wants to join. Have a good one!:crafty:
