With the New Year weekend coming up, 4 days off work... , my husband and I are looking for a fun place to dive. I have just gotten my cert, as of Dec 9th and have dove at Blue Grotto and Alexander Springs... both of which were so wonderful. My husband has been certified for many years longer, and is really being a great sport and enjoying my baby steps to getting some dives under my belt.
We were thinking of going to Ginnie Springs this weekend, but as I read about it, all the sites I find are talking about how great the caves/caverns are... there's not much about what to expect if you are limited to the OW cert allowed areas. So, I was hoping that someone here who has been there would share your experience of the OW areas and help me decide if its a good place for someone not doing any cave diving.
Also, if you have a suggestion of somewhere that we might enjoy more, please let me know that too. We are in the Orlando area, and really don't want to do more than a day trip. Also, I'm not interested in ocean dives right now. I did an ocean dive for my check out dive... and while it was great once I got to 60 feet, I had many other issues :depressed:... and I'm not too sure about getting back to a boat dive at this time.
Thanks for all your help...
