Thanks greeniguana, not exactly around the corner from me, but, might still drive over for fills.........

Umm, well, why don't you tell us where this dive shop is? Most of the shops in Tampa, that I'm aware of, send them out. One shop in Sarasota seems to do them onsite.......

I guess people just don't understand that 95% of dive shops, after you drop off your tanks, send the tanks to a facility like a fire service. I just had four tanks hydro'd at the place I linked to..... about $18.00 per tank.

Can't really help in your area, but you might try fire extinguisher services instead of dive shops. This is the place I have used for the last 15 years for hydro's: Tampa, FL - Protegis Fire & Safety They do hydro's on Thursday's, drop off on Wed, pick up on Friday. Also, about half the...

Funny, I didn't catch it earlier, there appears to be two fish in the photo. Not a jawfish on the upper middle rock, and possibly a jawfish on the rock at the bottom of the photo...

Photo is a little small, looks like Yellowhead Jawfish

I've been to Lauderdale-by-the-sea, it's worth a trip. Another place, maybe not so well known, is Vista Park. A few miles south, down the road. Huge tract of large gorgonians and a reef to the SE that has acropora and staghorn in as little as ten feet.

You do know that there is free parking in KW, you just have to know where they are.......... Ridiculous.............., a town that survives on tourism, banning tourists........... I guess next...., they'll stop their daily TV ads, in Tampa, asking people to come down and visit Key West. Maybe...

You forgot, panthers, fire ants, palmetto bugs, love bugs (twice a year), saltwater crocs and skunk monkeys and, you know, hanging chads...........

I think the two that are most talked about are Spanish Rocks and the Regina wreck, AKA the Sugar Barge. I've never done Spanish Rocks, but, did dive the Regina many years ago from my own boat, so can't give much detail about the shore dive part. Most of the barge was gone except for the bow...

Up until hurricane Irma, one of our favorite spots was Sugarloaf KOA. Twenty miles north of Key West and about seven miles south of Looe Key Reef Resort. We could dive with Looe Key Resort in the morning and hit Key West for night time fun...... Unfortunately, they are still rebuilding and...

You can dive the site without a guide. But as the others are saying, a holiday weekend there will be a circus... Be prepared to show up at about 6am to get a spot to park for the 2:00pm high tide....:surrender:

The Tampa/St Petersburg area is pretty vast. Knowing exactly where you will be would be helpful. There are many shops in the area. An interesting place with a good selection is Bill Jackson's shop for adventure. It's located in Pinellas Park, but, there are good shops all over the a Tampa area.

I don't know the answer you seek. However, lobsters have a "season". Banded coral shrimp do not, as well as most other tropicals. In addition, lobsters are a food source, lawnmower blennies, not so much.

It's been many years since we have been to Cozumel. However, drifting on the Santa Rosa Wall was spectacular. Drifting along at about 80' deep, corals, fish and other marine life all along the wall. Straight down nothing but the blue abyss below and straight up the blue sky above. Nothing...

If you want great reef diving, my advice would be to stop at Looe Key Reef Resort, it's been a few years since we've been there, but Looe Key reef is fantastic.

Are you looking for a luxury resort that offers diving on-site? Or are you looking for a place that you don't need to drag your wet gear back to the room?

We made our way over there twice last year. First visit, first day, tried to enter at Datura Ave. But the surf was too rough. The second day was better, but I don't think we went out far enough and it was so-so. The second visit we did three days of consecutive diving. We used Vista Park as...

If you don't mind the 45 minute trip or so, Looe Key is an excellent shallow water dive, most of the reef is in 15 to 20 feet of water. Looe Key resort's boat is a wide catamaran so it's a nice stable ride.
