Everything has finaly been made official so unfortunately i just enjoyed my final dive in the Destin area as a resident. I am moving to the Fort Worth/Alliance area next week and would like to meet new people and make new dive buddies. My gear will remain in Destin for the first leg of this move as I will still be coming back and diving, but I am very excited about this opportunity. So if anyone knows anybody or has any referrels, please let me know. Also, any recomendations of diving the area would be greatly appreciated (Yes I know about searching dive spots, but I am asking for specifics or unlisted dive spots.)

Take care and hopefully meet you soon.

PS-Florida friends, i will be in touch and will keep you posted on my return trips.

Hi, I’m in Tyler, TX. and just started diving in March of 2012. I certified in Cozumel and have logged about 70 dives since then. Just got back from diving with the sharks at Freeport, Grand Bahamas. Around East Texas I usually go to Clear Springs Scuba Park about once a month. Also there is the Athens Scuba Park, we go there alot it’s not very deep and it’s an old rock quarry, no fish but lots of stuff sunk in it to navigate to. I’m usually diving somewhere every other weekend and am single without any family of friends that dive. So would love to buddy up with you!

I am not far from you at all. i am in the Keller area. I have a ton of friends that dive and we are always looking for people to join us. Our next trip is actually to Cozumel which is only a 2 hr flight for us. We are going Feb 20th timeframe. We do liveaboards and dive trips but dont really dive locally since not anything great to see if you are use to the ocean.

Cozumel is the closest best blue water diving for you now. We have great rates from here and non stop flights. In the summer season we have charter flights with apple and funjet vacations which we do packages with hotel and transfers included. I have a wonderful dive shop we use also that gives you personalized diving and not the cattle boat experience.

Welcome to Texas by the way. I love the Destin area myself and was just there in October for a visit to the state park in PSN but we didnt dive. Not sure if you have dove any other places or not but I have been to lots and we have a great little group of people that just love to dive and are all good divers. My email is diane@affordabletrips.net and you can check out some of our photos on www.affordabletrips.net/photos. I hope this doesnt sound like a commerical!!!

I am going down with a friend on he 9th of Dec for 3 days in czm and then over to Playa on 12-12-12 and diving with the bull sharks at 12 noon! How cool is that! haha

I know a real good dive shop too if you want to hook up with one that does lots of trips and are real divers and not just once a year divers. Please email me anytime and let me know if I can help you with anything in the area. I have been here for 30 yrs now so I know my way around this parts! I am orginally from south Texas and let me say, the water is nothing like it is in Destin!
