Hi everyone! Just wanted to give a little update on our mapping progress along the gulf coast. In the thread earlier this month we discussed adding a number of wrecks to our list. Ocean Wind tugboat, Janet Tug, Miss Louise and the Liberty Ship off Destin, will all be mapped over the coming week...

Hello, After doing some research online I’m having trouble finding a charter or business that can take my husband and I on a dive. We are from MN and only have a few dives under our belt so we would want to go out with an instructor/ divemaster or group. Everything I have found seems to be...

Some interesting and weird macro subjects from Florida; for anyone who is interested. Thanks.

1. Mantis or False Mantis? 2. 3 feet away from this shrimp there was a "tapir" looking out from his hole. The only fish with a face like this in my old Humann & Deloach book is Blackspotted Eel, but it has not been reported in Florida. Just south of Blue Heron Bridge.

Looking to head to West Palm Beach in August/September for a few days to dive with some Goliath Grouper. Does anyone have any recommendations on who to dive with as well as what other dives we should target at that time of year? (ex. are there any good shark dives at that time of year?) My...

HI All, I'm new to the forum please let me know if this is the incorrect location for this post. I'm heading to Panama City Beach early next month and will be shore diving as well as taking a charter or two. Has anyone dove the St. Andrews jetties recently? I found a post from 2008 and was...

As a suggestion from @Wookie I booked three days with Quiescence. Thank you, sir!! One day doesn't make a scientific sampling but I thought I'd briefly write up our day. First of all, I was a bit concerned about having a 30 minute window between check-in and departure. My family isn't...

Hey guys. I'm looking at booking a holiday in Florida next year and would like to do some diving over 3-4 days in the Jupiter/Palm Beach area before going down to The Keys for a week. The diving in those areas appear to be highly rated. I'm just trying to decide what the best time is to go -...

I'll be spending roughly 9 days in Florida and I'm looking for suggestions of dive spots I shouldn't miss. I'll be flying into Orlando and renting a car, so I'm hoping to be able to dive some springs there. Then I plan on driving down the coast to Miami/Fort Lauderdale, and possibly Key Largo...

Hello everyone. I don't get the opportunity to do much diving but when I do I try and make a video of it. I thought I would share my latest. The majority of the footage was shot on one dive in Islamorada. I had a great time in spite of the rough water on the surface. I hope you enjoy.

I will be heading up to the Brooksville area for a week of camping coming up. I am wondering what neat dive spots there are around. I know that Blue Grotto, Devil's Den, Week-Wachee, and Rainbow river are all under two hours - but I'm wondering if there are any other places? Thanks!

traveling to LBTS in two weeks. What are people wearing at that time for wetsuits?

Here is a quick video I made with a new Gopro 6 using Bacscatter Filters and SeaLife Sea Dragon 2000 lights. Filmed on Sept 15 while on a dive in Jupiter, Fl with Scuba Works. While using the lights I didn't use the filters. Also, when I tried to use the deep filter the images were really dark...
