There are dive ops on the FL panhandlePensacola in paricular, that do go out year round, weather permitting (which is a biggee). Then you have a 2 hr. drive to the Miss. gulf coast casinos (all rebuilt since Katrina). This is our snowbird routine. I believe a shop in Orange Beach, AL (Down Under Divers) also may go out in winter. Dive Locker does in Panama City, but that’s a long way from Biloxi, Miss. I believe ScubaTech in Destin goes out, at least they do in March and later. There is one casino (Harrahs) on the New Orleans waterfront, but charters are unlikely. One private charter (Mark Miller"Primofish" I think, will take you our from Gauthier, MS (just down the road from the Biloxi casinos)it’s a long and somewhat costly trip as you must get past the barrier islands to get to the wrecks.
