Generally you will divers at West Bank Park either at Diver or Mask coves just about every weekend. So far none of us has become an ax muderer (that I know of!)

Alabama Blue Water Adventures is in Pelham, AL. That's located just south of Birmingham. I dove there last weekend. The facilities are great for training.

I too am looking for weekend dive sites, aside from driving to South AL.

There are dives going on almost every weekend. I will be at Dive Haven Saturday. I am planning a few more "local" dives before my Morehead trip the first weekend in May. Keep an eye on the Lake Lanier Looney Birds page for the most current info on where folks are diving in the area.

Atlanta Scuba is planning a wreck trip at the end of May to Morehead NC. They are also starting up their "dive n drive" trips soon. All of the trips are within a short distance from their shop and a great way to meet other local divers. My experience with them has been great and they never bothered me about where I bought my gear!
