Is there any diving off of the Alabama gulf coast? We are planning a family
trip to Dauphin Island (a barrier Island off the coast of Alabama) and most
are not divers and the rest are casual divers (and haven;t dove in years)
so I'm looking to see if we can maybe get in a dive or two while we spend a
week at the beach. I know there will not be any reef or coral or anything
like that but wondering if there might be a wreck or something.

I've been to Dauphin Island and I'm sure there must be diving there
because there's a big diving center near Ft. Walton Beach which isn't
too far away.

There's an Estuarium there on the island and the ferry docks (The
ferry goes over to Fort Morgan) and Fort Gaines. We were there last
winter http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tt/783e9/#TL although we
didn't dive.
