Orlando area options

[n733lk]

I'm going to be in Orlando for a few days on business at the end of July. Are there any dive shops that pick up in Orlando for a day of diving?

What are best options? Crystal River???? I'm not familiar with the area at all.

Thanks!

This was a recent topic and here are the threads..... lots of advice at these two links if you have a rental car. I don't know of any shuttle service, but maybe other divers do. Another option is Disney Dive Quest on the Epcot fish tank. Fun to do once or twice in a life.

I absolutely agree with the Epcot dive if you can afford it. It's like $175 and you only get 45 minutes in the water but it's about a 3 hour experience. Definitely worth it though.

A good local shop on the way to Spring country from Orlando is Scuba Ozzy Diving. Has full gear rentals and can probably find someone to dive with you in the area.

sIn addition to Crystal River, some good diving in the area would be Devil's Den, Rainbow River, Paradise Springs, Blue Grotto, or Ginnie Springs. You can do Alexander Springs, which is really close and only like $6 to get, but it's a 1 tank dive at the most since it's kinda small...
