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...

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...

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!
