    Once Upon A Time In Florida...

    Bargain Florida diving

    I’m interested in traveling to dive the Florida keys last minute, in May 2021. The housing , lodging prices start at $300 per night and are higher then I want to spend. Where’s a pleasant Florida location with similar quality diving to the Keys, doesn’t require renting a car, has activities...

    Help need buddy/boat/good shop in keys/miami/cape canaveral

    I flew in for a business trip and got here Friday. Hoping to get as much diving in Saturday and earlier Sunday. With almost no planning and my two connections being MIA, my prospects are quite low. Would love for a person with a boat who just wants to dive to show me around. Or a buddy to join...

    What do the Lionfish eat in Western Florida waters?

    I find this paper interesting. They used DNA fingerprinting to ID the remnants in the stomachs of 50 Lionfish from Sarasota area taken in 2016, and turned out that LF mostly consumed small gobies (2 species, 44.7% of the prey by numbers found), Sand Divers (16.3%), Sand Perch (14.3%), and Bridle...

    Best snorkeling Florida Keys based on Reef Health?

    Florida native, diver since 1970s but haven't visited Keys since the 80s. Strictly snorkeling now- wanna check out any decent living reefs in the Keys, based on what divers say :) Don't wanna fly (or I'd be in Raja Ampat!) so we'll drive from home in Central Florida to Key Largo and beyond. Best...

    Open Water Certifications: Not Bad in Summer 2020

    Open water (entry-level) scuba diving certifications weren't 'that bad' in Q3 (July, August, Sept). In fact, Hawaii and Florida had significant growth. Does anybody know what happened in California for the numbers to be so bad?!?! Market Data: Scuba Diving Certifications in the USA in 2020

    Best wrecks in SE Florida to watch Grouper aggregations now?

    Is Corridor Wreck Track good for this purpose or do I have to look for something else? 6 wrecks in, say, 45 min seems too fast for me.

    Brain-eating amoeba, Naegleria fowleri

    Wondering with a shudder (link to article below): Is or could that be a factor with US dive sites? Could this amoeba live in the water to the Florida springs? Or is it known with certainty that those waters are cool enough that this us not a possibility? Other Freshwater dive or snorkel sites...

    Is COVID-19 changing your reefs?

    For those that live locally and dive places like Caymans, Coz, Bonaire, Florida Keys and coast. With the diminished recreational pressure and boating traffic, do you recognize changes in your location? Better visibility, more marine life, changes to the reefs? I would be interested to see if...

    Other SE Florida Muck?

    While BHB is a great spot, I’m thinking it can’t be the only one in SE Florida with decent muck diving. Anybody have other muck dives to recommend? There’s a lot of tidal water near various inlets that seems likely to have similar critters to BHB. Boat traffic and shore access are factors to...

    Custom Wetsuits Made in Florida

    This is a long shot but can't hurt for trying. I bought a custom made wetsuit in 1999 from someone in Florida. The shop was in an industrial park right off of I-95, definitely south of West Palm Beach and maybe a little south of Delray Beach. I'd love to find this shop if it still exists...

    Southwest Florida or Charlotte County Dives

    Hello, After doing some research online I’m having trouble finding a charter or business that can take my husband and I on a dive. We are from MN and only have a few dives under our belt so we would want to go out with an instructor/ divemaster or group. Everything I have found seems to be...
