    You aren't that far from cave country, plenty of overhead instructors in your state.
    GDI is in Tampa and he teaches overhead classes (cave and deco).

    PM Chickdiver. She'll have access to a list of instructors in your area.

    <note to self, read more carefully>

    GDI may have you covered already...

    I would recommend GDI. Excellent instructor.

    P.S. Do ask him to explain you the "Monkey Humping a football" syndrome. :mfight:

    Another vote for Rick (GDI). A good instructor, patient, but unyielding when it comes to actually teaching you what you need to know. Worth the drive up to Ridge Manor (actually a bit north of Tampa).

    At 50 dives I thought I had this diving thing figured out. At 100 dives I realized how wrong I was at 50!
