I wanted to give this thread a reboot. I am in the Machias area and looking to connect with some folks in this area. I have zero idea for good dive sites or even where to get an air fill up here.
Check out Boynton Beach Dive Center. They are an SSI shop. Besides having some good instructors one of the nice things about their shop is the ease to diving off the charters located at the Boynton Marina. The Boynton reefs are amazing.
The best ocean diving in Florida is from Jupiter to Ft Lauderdale. Skip Naples. Spend a day or two looking for smalls at the Blue Heron Bridge and spend a few days drifting on the reefs off West Palm and Boynton Beach.
The Fitz is being watched by the Canadians.

And about the wrecks, if they are shut down no one is watching. Just swim around the yellow "do not enter" tape :-)
Hey all welcome to the great world of diving. I will be down in Gilboa this upcoming weekend--Sept 14-15 teaching a class. There will be a few folks just diving. You are welcome to come down and dive with us. Just stop by the green vw micro bus and introduce yourself.
Take care,

Good to know. Thanks. Bonecrusher should have good numbers for the Checotah. Bruno's definitely has good numbers. We have placed the line on her in the past.
I had a great day diving at Portage. Viz was spotty in places but for the most part it was 15 feet. Water temp was 69 above thermo and drop to mid 50's at 20 feet. If I am in the region I will try to make it down for this event.
Take care,

Hello all. We are getting together with our canadian diver brothers and sisters in Port Lambton, Ontario next week. Port Lambton sits on the St. Clair River separating Michigan and Canada just north of the city of Detroit. Diving the St Clair River is quite popular with one of the most popular...
If you can get on their small boat then go for it. Other wise their cat is just like the other big dive ops in the Keys, busy, "be in the water at this time out at this time." Horizon is the only dive op I have ever refused to tip--world wide. If you can try to dive one of the smaller ops or...
I love Boca Grande--just not for the diving. Lots and lots of sand in 10 feet of water. There is a small reef that runs off the light house and you may have some luck spotting some Bull Sharks swimming in the area. Off the point in the pass it is deep and crazy. I do not suggest that you dive...
I also have been in the water with Sail Fish Scuba. They essentially run a four pack and will put a guide in the water with you. The owners Jen and Chris are knowledgeable and stress customer service--something that is lacking in most of the cattle boats that run out of Key Largo.
Sounds like a great journey. Consider starting north of Kingston in Brockville, Ontario. It is about one hour north and all reports are that it is a better dive site.
This will be another year of missing the M&G. I was hoping to head down if I am in town, however, the wife is now heading to China for work which means I am on little dudette patrol.
As always have a good time and please look out from Bonetickler. He has been wearing his drysuit a little...
