About Dive Land Park

A dive in fresh water: a lake, quarry or spring. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. For experienced divers the best months are usually January, February, March and April, with about 7 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No stay checked for this site yet: Glencoe Alabama, 5 km away, is the nearest town we list. Nearest airport: BHM (BHM), 88 km.

  • Water Fresh water: a lake, river or quarry, not the sea. It is scored on its wind and rain only.
  • What it is No source states what kind of site it is.
  • How deep No source states how deep it goes.
  • Who it suits Suits Advanced divers and up: no source states its depth or level, so we never offer it to a new diver.
  • Dive centres No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off.

Forecast

Fresh water: lake, river or quarry: scored by other rules.

Fresh water has no waves to forecast, so the 48 points out of 80 that a sea site gets for a calm sea are given in full. The day turns on the wind (24 points) and the rain (8); gusts of 34 kn or more still score it nothing.

No sea temperature is read for it: nothing forecasts a lake's water, and it is often much colder at depth than at the top. Ask a dive centre what suit to bring.

Best on Sun 18: Fresh water (a lake, river or quarry): no sea, so scored on wind and rain only. Wind 5 kn gusting 10.

Day scores are the conditions out of 80, from the two best daylight readings: a morning and an afternoon dive. Fresh water (a lake, river or quarry): no sea, so scored on wind and rain only. Wind and gusts are in knots (10 kn is about 19 km/h); rain is over the daylight readings, in mm. Water has no reading: no sea temperature is read for a lake. What is under the water (visibility, current, life) no free forecast gives.
