Hey SB Oracles... I'm not super familiar with FL diving outside of the Keys and here's what I'm wondering: Where's the best spot(s) to bring a group that: -Is good for OW cert "check out" dives (current, depth, etc. work for skills) -Also offers something to the more experienced in the group...

Hey Folks... heading to Nassau in a few days (Dec 26-Jan 1)... looking for advice: -Is there anyplace to shore dive that's worth it? -Dive ops? Seems like only two options, which caters more to very experience divers? -Fav places?? Thanks!

I'm going to be staying in Nassau in December on a family trip and had been excited since I've never dove the Bahamas but now seems like the Nassau options are really limited... SO here's my questions: 1) Are there really only 2 ops? There's no small ops out there that cater to more advanced...

Hi all... so I've read the other threads on here about this, but have a couple specific questions: I did my DM in Utila and loved it (yay cross creek/UDC!) and would go back in a second for the IDC. The only problem is that I can probably only take one vacation this summer and so need to...
