Lake Denton

Tiger Tail Lake

Lake Underhill

Just off Port Canaveral.

Blue Grotto

De Leon Springs
 
Any dive off Panama City Beach from October to April.
Cold, Colorless and Cold... yes it may be good for spearfishing and yes it is better than nothing, but it is COLD
 
Fort Lauderdale Caves, which are not caves, rather a junk-laden stretch of reef (thank you drunken Florida fisherman)
Anything that ends in "reef," for that matter - to include the over-rated molasses reef
Qualman tugs - just shells of what looks to be rowboats
Copenhagen - an archaeological preserve reduced to a debris field thanks to WWII navy pilots
Completely disagree with you re: Molasses Reef... Any site can get old if you dive it enough, however, that'll take some doing with Molasses... Calling it one of the 10 worst sites in Florida is a major stretch... It's still pristine, full of life, and incredibly simple to navigate its channel...
 
Disneyworld's Epcot Center
 
Dives are like wine, women, steak, cheese, and beer. All are good some are just better than others.

There is no such thing as a bad dive or a bad dive site.

You are right of course - I was beimg an ass. It is a great reef as far as reefs go, but as you could probably guess, I am a wreck fan.

Ever drink Thunderbird wine, meet Aileen Carol Wuornos, eat at American Steak House, try Schlitz Lite, or dive the aformentioned Tigertail Lake? :D
 
I have drank Thunderbird, T.J. Swann, and Red Dagger too. Back in the days when TB cost a dollar a gallon we counted pennies on the weekend and it was all we had. I have also drank a glass of Egyptian wine.

I never met Aileen but I have known Mary Clara Dubose. She appreciated me when others didn't and did nice things in return. I am forever grateful to her.

I did eat at American Steak House in Dar es Salaam three times. Walmart Jerky was more tender but it saved me from another meal of curry goat (with more curry than goat) or fishheads and rice and for that I would eat there again.

Schlitz Lite is far better and tastier than Carling Black Label which is all that we could get at a deployed location once. They told us that we couldn't get Schlitz or Bud until all the CBL was gone so we shot a whole pallet full with an M-60 on a hot tropical evening. Quite entertaining.

Tigertail Lake? I don't even know where that is but I do carry dive gear in my car lest I pass a pothole filled with water.

Inside the culverts that run under 441 connecting the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge with the agricultural runnoff canals.
