When: Feb 10th, 2007
Where: Alabama Blue Water Adventures
Air Temp: 35-40
Water Temp: 52-55
Who: Frank & Michael
Dive #1:
- Air Used: 2001psi
- Max Depth: 85'
- Bottom Time: 0h 31m
- Desc: We headed down to the 25' platform, then over to the sailboat, then we headed left to the school bus, then to the steel box. We stayed at the steel box for a bit then lost everyone. We swam another 30' or so and found some old rusted cars and some pretty cool rock formations, then we followed a line to an old training platform that had a chair sitting on top of it. Chilled for a few then headed for the wall, following it till we came up on the cylinders then a few more cars and then found the main platform, ascended up the line and did a 5m safety.
Dive #2 (SI..2h 7m):
- Air Used: 1885psi
- Max Depth: 44
- Bottom Time: 0h 38m
- Desc: We dove the right side on this one. One of the divers that was with us was a MAJOR air hog! We headed over to the first boat, then the camper, then followed the dropoff a bit, maybe 300', then turned around. Michael, myself, and another guy stayed down, 2 others surfaced. We ended up trolling the firetruck (which no longer has a toilet in the back). Checked out the old cars and a few other things, headed up to the deck for a 5m safety.
Dive #3 (SI..1h 24m):
- Air Used: 2320
- Max Depth: 53
- Bottom Time: 0h 40m
- Desc: Well we started out on the left side, swam the wall all the way around to the decks on the right, even made it to the camper. At this point I was at about 2300psi and figured it might be a good idea to turn around, so we headed back to the left deck and went past it (purposely). We ended up by some old cars and a utility trailer that has only been there for about a year. We then headed back to the deck that we entered from and did a 5m safety.

All in all it was a good weekend. Very cold, but worth the fun. We left Pearl, MS at 5:30am and ended up parked at ABWA at 9:30am. After our dives were complete we went to a Scubaboard members house and had dinner. We didn't leave there until about 8:30-9:00pm and stopped many times on the way home! We finally made it in about 2am.
