    normally, I prefer to dive on m, t, th, or F (one not all) rather than Sat or Sun. however I have non diving guests until the 2nd. keep in touch and contact me next time you need a partner.

    Thumbs up Weekday diving

    Recently moved down here from the frozen north. DM certified. I can get out during the week with a day or two's notice. Would love to get diving as much as possible now that I'm here.

    Hello and welcome to (currently no so..) sunny Florida!
    I believe C. Fl is the best kept secrete in the diving world, 3 hrs. in any direction provides a unique dive experience.
    I just dove Paradise Springs Thursday and might be able to squeeze in a close dive this week, definitely next week.
    do you have a preference? Also the Lake Mary Dive Club meets Monday night @ 6 PM @ Gander Mountain. They are perhaps the most active dive club in C. FL.

    No preference. Let me know when and where. Would love to do some "local" diving.

    How about this Thursday at Blue Springs State Park in Orange City? We can meet at the gate at 8:30 am?

    Thursday Dive

    The gate opens at 8 am but I need to meet about 12:30 pm, if that works for you. there is sometimes a line to get in to dive. The max depth is 60' fresh h2o VERY IMPORTANT... NO LIGHTS OR KNIVES. There is a post where a couple of guys from UCF got arrested and charged a $150 fine for bringing lights into the springs.

    I'm a NITROX diver but will be on air for the dives.

    Driving Directions

    Take exit 114 off Interstate 4 and follow the signs. Go south on 17/92 to Orange City, about 2.5 miles. Make a right onto West French Avenue.
