The prices aren't massively cheaper unless you get a really good exchange rate, you may pick up something like wetsuits, rashvests and knives cheaper, but not to much else.

    best diving within 2 - 3 hr drive from disney

    I dive WPB when I am over in Florida, we stay in Polk county area and drive down to WPB, approx 3hrs, if we are doing two days diving we usually just book a cheap motel for one night. Have dived with Jim Abernethy all the times we have been over so another shout for him, well organised crew
