I am hoping to make my first trip to Florida this summer. Unfortunately this is an unplanned trip so I didnt budget for it. I do want to get some more diving in this year but would like to keep costs down. I am driving down from Ohio in August in hopes of catching the Goliath grouper aggregation in Jupiter.
Ive priced the diving and the rooms and they seem to be a little high but manageable. I am looking at a room for about $95 a night. This is based off of the ratings I am seeing. I would love to go lower all I really want is clean. I dont need any amenities but plugs to charge my batteries and clean sheets.
So if there are any insider tips on a nice place to stay thats the first questions.
I spoke to Scuba-world on the phone and was surprised to hear you are charged
a tank rental feel outside of the boat dive fee. I found out this seems to be the norm.
Second question would be best prices on diving in Jupiter along with quality.
I plan three boat dives and the rest Blue Heron.
My biggest budget issue is the Keys. Key West is insane on prices. I have read some threads where they mention other Keys that are as good or better. I cant seem to find the thread again.
Any insider tips for the keys would be good. Even a two or three day liveaboard would be an option to stay out of the hotels.
Thanks for any help.
