    Default Alabama Cave Diving???

    ok, i'll be in Anniston, Alabama for the next month.

    someone please tell me there is a cave to dive somewhere near there.

    are there any caves to dive in that area of Alabama/Georgia?

    There are 2 different karst areas in AL. The one near FL has a few spots similar to FL, but they are sidemount. North AL is full of cave dives, but most "cave divers" are too wussy to dive them. I keep hearing complaints like:
    It's too cold.
    It isn't as clear as Ginny.
    You have to walk too far.
    No picnic tables....

    If you really want to dive in AL, PM me.

    Cold, definitely! Not gin clear, well you can't have everything. Too far of a walk, come on now my old hips and knees can make it. No picnic tables, they just get in the way anyhow 8) Looking forward to TAG

    I'm sorry...

    I spent 3 months there during MP school with the Corp. While there I got my first real exposure to the south, Talladega Speedway duing a race weekend. One of those pivotal moments in my life....
