A new type of site for me this day ...
Diving in the Gulf of Mexico off of Gulf Shores:
- Directions from Tampa: I was staying in Pensacola; but I-75 North, and then I-10 West should get you close enough.
- Conditions on the day of my visit: A little cloudy, and some more rain at first.
- Personal Notes: Three Sisters is actually a set of oil rigs. Still in use, too. Very wierd water action - no real thermocline but the water temp would shift from 68 F to 80 F in spots.
Romar Barge was an interesting site with some neat fish life, including a couple of Bat Fish.
The Wallace Liberty Ship is covered with severed anchors. A big wreck, it's a popular dive and fishing site, but anchors get hung up on it constantly. You'll see quite a few down there.
