Decent? I did my check out dive years ago off of some rig at least 10 or so miles offshore. Couldn't see shite.
You really need to get East of the Mississippi river to the emerald waters of the Gulf Coast. Gulf Shores area is probably the closest. Even then, I don't enjoy diving that area, the visibility is still not great and there is just not much to see.
If you really want an excellent dive experience, you're closest place is Cozumel. Belize (go to Ambergris Caye) is also excellent and not much further. I've been to many other places, but I'll wait and see if you are just talking about staying in the USA.

Pensacola has the Oriskany, which is a world class diving destination. I know people that do day-trips there from Baton Rouge, but that makes for a long day. You need to be an advanced diver to do the Oriskany, though, as the high point of the tower is at something like 75'. There are a number of other shallower wrecks that anybody can dive in the Gulf Shores/Pensacola area.
The oil rigs off the Louisiana coast are also supposed to be amazing, but I've never been. I'm also not sure how much quicker it is to drive to Fourchon or Venice from BR than it is to drive to Gulf Shores.
