Hello Community,
I'll be in Florida from the 23rd of December to 31st. I need some help with planning my itinierary. Looking forward to some feedback and suggestions to improve!
Dec 23 - Dec 24: Wreck diving certification course with the South Florida Diving Headquarters.
Dec 25 - Dec 26: Dive in the Miami/Key West area. Some options in my mind:
Dec 29 - Dec 31 3-4 dives (or more).
Jan 1 - Fly out from the Panama City

Dec 25 - Dec 26: Dive in the Miami/Key West area. Some options in my mind:
- USS Spiegel Grove, Duane Wrecks and SS Copenhagen (If not already done as part of the certification course)
- Molasses Reef
- Blue Heron Bridge
Dec 29 - Dec 31 3-4 dives (or more).
Jan 1 - Fly out from the Panama City
My questions:
- Is the Panhandle Florida good time to dive at that time of the year? I gather that the water is cold. I don't have the dry suit certificaiton. What are some good options to dive?
- Any other interesting certificaiton courses I could do either in South Florida or in the Northwest Florida? I am getting AOW later this month (November). I am interested in the marine conservation efforts, so was considering doing one of the PADI AWARE conservation courses - but not sure if I have time to do that in my trip.
- [Non Scuba question!] Anything fun to while I am driving across the state? I am into hiking, biking and general outdoor adventurous stuff!
