Pearl River LA sand pit dive trip

[Mark Michaud SELAUSAR]

I can do an hour dive in Vortex in shorts so I am cold natured................but I think it would be ok. The hood will definitely help. You should be fine.

If you get by Slidell you can try this on on and see. If it works it's yours.

Thanks. I only live 20 minutes away, I think I can make that happen.

I wouldn't mind checking something like this out some time!

Talk about some serious flash backs. I lived in Picayune more years ago than I care to remember and we used to swim in the pits down by Pearl River turnaround.
I always wondered what it would be like to dive them and would appreciate a trip report.
I'm in central Fl now and occasionally get back that way.

I'm out of Baton Rouge, and I wouldn't mind taking a trip to check these things out. Haven't done much diving in Louisiana, so why not try it, eh? I'm a drysuiter, so temperature's not really an issue.

I should be pretty much open as soon as I get finished with the paperwork on my house, which means I have no clue when I'll be ready, but it had better be soon. (It's been too long... *waaaaay* too long.) I'll stay tuned here.

What does your schedule look like for next week? I should be able to pass through Slidell in the afternoon on my way home from work.

I might come and be surface support! It could be the beginning of a SELA non-spearing dive club!

I am training Fire District 1 personel Monday til early afternoon in Rapid Diver at the Oak Harbor station / canal. I should be done early afternoon, I hope, cause it is my day off. I am off Tuesday and work nights Wed and Thursday. Gimme a call at 985-960-1157. I work 6 a to 6 p this Friday thru Sunday.

I like that idea.
