Good point. I'd be willing to give it a try. Anyone?
If you were going to be in Atlanta on business and had an extra day for the Gulf...

Savannah area
The River, (drift dive) and Grey's Reef (Boat dive) are about all I've heeard of down there.
We dove the GA Aquarium last year and had a blast. It's about thirty minutes and you don't need to carry any thing. The only thing you can bring is your mask anyway. They have everthing setup for you and you put on your wetsuit, walk out to the dock and put on your gear and off you go. Did I mention the whale sharks are circling under the dock to see the new people.
Go through one of the Dive shops and it's a little cheaper.

Also the drive time will depend on what time you plan on leaving and also what day of the week. if you plan on driving on a Friday down 75 between the hours of 3-8PM, good luck. You will be sitting in traffic for hours and that 5.5 will easily turn into 7-8 hrs. I am not exagerating at all, it can be brutal. If you are driving on a weekday it will be a little better but not much. I drive to florida all the time and if i dont leave before 2-3PM on a weekday, then i dont leave until 9. Also no one in this area has a clue how to drive so you have to deal with that also.

I would go down to_panama city and jump on a dive charter,the dive locker is a good one or Pat Green,not sure of the name of his shop. It is 6.5-7 hrs from my house which is about 30 miles north of Atlanta. Panama city dive charters is the name of Pats shop.
Understand Atlanta traffic! Spent many years stuck in rush hour on the way through town to various racetracks. (Who needs practice anyway...)
The charter idea out of Savanah or Panama City may be the ticket since the shore diving sounds limited.
