Hey all,
I have never been kayak diving, and I would love to give it a try. I am a vet school student, and don't have nearly the free time that I would like to get out diving...but I go whenever I have the time and money to do so. I read a lot about it on various websites, and was hoping that I might be able to go this Saturday (weather permitting). I live in Gainesville, so I have to plan this out before I down. I have called Divesix dive shop in vero beach and a couple other kayak rental shops there and know I can get a kayak for about $45 for the day. Adventure Diving recommended that I call Dive Oddysea diving in Ft. Pierce (a touch south from vero, and also said to have good dive sites). I have called them and they took my name and number to have someone return my call, there website says they rent kayaks for $40 a day.
So, is there anyone in that area that would like to go, and knows where and how to safely do this? I did watch a lot of video on a couple websites showing the whole process. I have been kayaking on rivers and lakes, but never in the ocean. But I have no doubts that with a little work, I could figure out what to do. I own my own dive gear and have been diving off the beach and charters before, just never off a kayak. It looks like something I would love to get into once I get more free time. Obviously, if you have a second kayak that I could use (of the right size and sit on top type), I would be willing to pay you to use it, or not if you don't want my money
.
Anywho, hope there is someone out there that is willing to go! I know there is more diving locations the further south you go (for example in Ft. Lauderdale), but I would rather drive the less distance, I would have to drive back up north at the end of the day :depressed:
Any other info is more than welcome.
Thanks!
