Florida - good tec spots for continuing training

[4c1dburn]

Hi - not sure if I should post this here or in the destination section.

I might be staying in southern Florida for a month or two.
Wondering if you have any recommendations for what area has a decent concentration of good tec guides/instructors.
Trained with someone in Greece all summer, now looking to make use of my ability to work from anywhere and continue on the tec path in Florida.

High springs has a large concentration of really high level instructors. I’d hit up Cave Country Dive Shop or Extreme Exposure to get specific recommendations, or shoot me a PM.

Cannot swing a dead cat in S. Florida or Cave country without hitting a tec instructor.

Hitting a good one is another matter entirely.

Thanks much

Any specific ideas for Southern Florida?

Hi @4c1dburn

What are you looking for? Freshwater, saltwater, caves, wrecks?

Ultimate goal is deeper wrecks (I have a few dives on my bucket list that require Trimix).

Did foundations and advanced Nitrox (up to 50% / 40 meters / 1 stage tank) over the summer. Taking next step from there.

I live in south Florida and would be happy to provide recommendations

Isn’t Richie Koehler still teaching down near jupiter/w palm? He would be on my short list with those goals.

Alec Hutchinson (Boca, anything you want to do) Marcello Pavao (Jupiter, up to helitrox) are two people I'd recommend a family member to in the Broward/Palm Beach area.
