about the facility at www.divealabama.com or call 208.663.7428.
Alabama Blue Water Adventures is located off of I-65 in Pelham,
AL, just south of Birmingham.
All activities will begin at 9am on
Saturday and Sunday. When you reach the location, you will
see two large tents. The tents will protect us from the
weather so, come rain or shine, we’ll be diving! Air fills & dive

| |
| Schedule for the Day |
| |
| Registration
and Test Dives: 9am to 5pm Saturday and 9am-4pm Sunday |
| Registration
will begin at 9am on Saturday. All divers will need to show
your certification card at the facility. You will also need
to complete a liability release form and rental form and
we will ask that a credit card or drivers license be held
as a deposit. A parent or guardian who can sign the appropriate
forms must accompany participants under 18. These forms are
available from your local dealer or on-line so you can fill
them out in advance if you like.
Test Dives will be conducted Saturday until 5pm and Sunday
until 4pm. All equipment must be returned at that time.
Divers must enter the water by 4pm on Saturday and 3pm
on Sunday to ensure we have the equipment back in time. Prior to the demo, each diver will be fitted with the
appropriate drysuit and other equipment. Once you are dressed
and ready to dive, you will check in with the divemaster
in charge of the dive deck who will assign you an instructor
or divemaster as a guide. As soon as there are 2-3 people
ready to go in the water, an experienced drysuit diver
or instructor will escort you on your dive. If you are
a certified drysuit diver, you are welcome to dive on your
own. You can do as many dives as you wish. With numerous
suits there usually is little wait, though you may need
to wait a short time for the specific type of drysuit you
want. |
| |
| Barbecue Lunch: 11am to 2pm |
| This is included in the event ticket
price and is served to all participants from 11am –2pm.
Please plan your dive schedule appropriately. Family members
of participants can enjoy the barbecue lunch for only $5.
Small children are free with a paid adult. |
| |
| “How to” Seminars |
| Informative
and fun “How to” seminars will be taught throughout
the weekend. Our most popular seminar is DUI Field Repair
Seminar. We will demonstrate seal replacement, finding and
patching holes, changing valves and overall tips on maintaining
drysuits. Space is limited and pre-registration is recommended.

by our partner, SeaLife® ReefMaster® cameras. A schedule
with more detailed information will be posted in the tent.
