I am a certified diver with about 14 dives so I would say I am a beginner at this point. I live in the Atlanta area & am looking to try and do some dives this summer (May-Aug) in some of the Florida Springs. I have seen Ginnie Springs & Manatee State Park. I'm sure there are PLENTY more to choose from & I'm open to any.
Here is also my situation surrounding the trip; I plan to go with some friends in my area and meet some others from the Miami area. We are planning to just hang out and want to maybe get a cabin at a state park (although camping would work too). I am the only one certified in our group so I was looking to maybe join some outfit in this area that does trips while I'm in the area. Again, I will be solo so I will need to hook up with a group that supplies the trip, others to dive with, and equipment. It will most likely be a weekend trip (Fri-Sun).
While I have initially figured out that Manatee State Park might be a good place since they have camping facilities & is somewhat centrally located for me and my friends to meet, I would still need to maybe find someone who does full diving tours of some kind in this area. I am maybe willing to drive to another location if this isn't a good place. Or any other suggestions on how to approach this?
We are flexible in planning our get together, but I would like to be able to make reservations of some sort since I will be traveling about 6+ hrs to get there.
