Closer to 60 than to 50
Live in Clearwater,FL
Dive in warm water ONLY (unless we are surprised by a cold upwelling) Caribbean, Bahamas, Florida (when the water is warm enough).Favorite Florida place to dive is West Palm Beach. Trying out Curacao next month.
Favorite dive shop isn't really a dive shop, but a dive op in WPB, Narcosis, run by Van Blakeman and his stellar crew
NAUI OW. Just never got around to the advanced courses.

Just got closer to 60 than 50 this year, myself...
Quick question, though... what do you like in West Palm that has an advantage over Key Largo (other than proximity to you, of course). Just curious because I haven't dove WPB, and I'll be passing through there shortly on my *way* to Largo or Tavernier...
Am very familiar with Van and Narcosis. Great group and diving. Have you tried Jupiter yet? A little deeper than WPB, but more pelagics and turtles. Put it on your bucket list.....you won't be disappointed.
BTW, water temp today in Jupiter was 71F. Woo Hooo!! Try www.jupiterdivecenter.com. Best outfit in northern Palm Beach County!Key Largo and Tavernier have beautiful reef systems with shallower dives than Palm Beach County. Very pretty. The thing that beats ( IMHO) out the keys area is the pelagics that swim and spawn in the reef system here that follows the gulf stream. It brings in nutrients that attract the larger species of marine life......the sharks, the large turtles, the big green moray eels, the Goliath Grouper, etc. Where the reef system itself isn't as pretty as the Keys, the marine life is incredible!!!!!! I would rather dive Jupiter than anywhere else in the Florida area. Just my opinion and experience.
So does that mean you'll be diving here and I'll have the op to meet/dive with you??
