Pensacola Buddy wanted for somewhat-refresher easy dive

[mxracer19]

Hey all,

After a fairly long hiatus from diving I pulled out the gear, sent the tanks off to get hydro'ed, and broke out a few dvds to brush up on the knowledge. I'm looking for a buddy to make a couple easy dives in the Pensacola area to get my feet wet again. I'm thinking one of the shore dives, but I'm not too familliar with the area so if anyone has any good ideas for something in the 10-40' range I'm all for it. I'm free on weekends (except this one) and some week nights after 4.

I live in Mississippi and will try to dive Pickens some weekend in April. Be glad for the company when I get the chance to come over.

 

[mxracer19]

Alright sounds good to me! Shoot me a PM a few days before you drive down and hopefully we can make it out.

Would you be interested in diving at Fort Pickens on April 7 or 8?

 

[mxracer19]

I could probably swing that. Hopefully my tanks will be back by then but if not I don't mind renting. How's the vis around then?

It's a pass dive so I can't really predict plus I wasn't diving this time last year. From what I've heard I think it should be good/decent vis as long as there isn't a lot of runoff from rain. I just looked at a post where Ft. pickens viz has been 15-20ft. all week at pickens during high tide.

I'm down to do a tank or two on Friday. Saturday I'm planning to go off shore, but if that falls through Pickens is always a good backup plan.

If those offshore dives don't work out for you I'd be interested in meeting up Today for a shore dive anywhere from Dauphin Island as far as Destin or Ponce De Leon.

The offshore trip did fall through. Unfortunately, I need to use today to get caught up on yard work. I know that tomorrow is Easter, but my wife and I are headed to St. Andrews in the morning, if you'd like to meet up!

What time are you planning on being there?
