Does anyone know of any shore diving inthe PNS area? We have close to 1000 dives in the ocean and are planning an RV trip to PNS area in 2weeks and thinking of bringing gear.

There are a bunch of options here. On Pensacola Beach there is Park East whis is a little bit of a surface swim but worth it. The Ft. Pickens jetties is a good dive at the right time. Chicken bone, but the viz always sucks. A little drive and you're at the springs of Vortex and Morrison. The St. Andrews jetties us not far away. And you can't forget cave country in Marianna and all the caves and springs on Meritts Mill Pond.
