Looking for Orlando FL Area Instructors

[ScottB]

Hello Everyone,

I have a friend who is getting married in August, and she has expressed some interest to me in my diving, and stated that she would like to learn to dive.

I am curious if there would be some way for me to arrange for her to do some sort of resort dive/guided by an instructor dive with some manatees or something (as an engagement/wedding present from me)

I am traveling down there this weekend to spend a week... I carry two sets of fins/two masks with me.. so I could hook her up with a set, and my *for training purposes only* snorkle... so would need to get her a set of boots, and rent the rest of her gear....

So is anyone *instructor qualified* willing to take a sweetie under their wing for a day to expose her to blowing bubbles?

I'd probably be tagging along at a comfortable distance in my sidemount rig.... with some POS disposable underwater camera



Thanks for any replies...
Take Care,

Scott

P.S. I'm actually leaving Wednesday morning headed in that direction, but I won't make it to her house until Friday night... So I might be a little delayed in replying...

If you'd like this moved to the Florida forum for better coverage and Inst suggestions, post that here, and I'll ask a Mod. It seems the request needs to come from you, tho.

A Resort Dive in Kings Bay can be arranged thru Crystal River operators perhaps, but manatee diving is usually done there with snorkel gear only.

I just reposted it there myself... Mods please feel free to delete this thread..

Thank you Don.
