Richard,Have you tried the diving out of Morehead City? The offshore wrecks with the sand tiger sharks? When I dove there, the rest of my little crew hit the beach at least one day; looked okay in the pictures. It's a much different dive experience from the places you mentioned.
Ditto diving out of Jupiter, FL. Our little girl had a good time at Juno Beach, and for variety a side trip one day to Blue Heron Bridge is good. I think you'd be a bit early to hit the Goliath grouper aggregation, though (IIRC), and you'd be way off from the lemon shark aggregation. Jupiter would be drift diving, likely with a group. I've been twice; it was not 'wild and wooly' either of my trips.
How long will this trip be? Is your son an adult? Are there any depth restrictions or other conservative measures where he's concerned?
Richard.
he is good 17, tough kid.
I guess I am looking for great dives and an unusual location but it has to be in July because of his school schedule.
Thailand, Kona, Maldives, Mauritis, etc
Looking for ideas
