Hey all, I really enjoy diving offshore (kind of underwhelmed by the springs I've been too) and I'm trying to figure out what's reasonable for dive charter prices as I'm doing my research. The charters here in Jax are between $100-130 for a 3-tank dive trip, not including tanks (extra $30-50)...

This should be a fun event. It's being held at Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Windjammer Resort to celebrate the 2nd annual Stoked On Salt – PADI Women’s Dive Day. (Gotta say, I love that name – "Stoked On Salt"!) Here's the article from Florida Diver Magazine: Second Annual PADI Women’s Dive Day...

My son and I are looking for a FL dive trip at the end of July. We've done Key Largo several times, and are looking for something new for us. I see there are a number of dive shops/boats in the Laurderdale area. Has anyone used them? Recommendations? What about other areas like West Palm Beach...

I am looking to do a Tec 45 cert in Florida in September. I have tried to write to 3 schools on the Treasure Coast, Orlando, and Miami, and did not receive a single reply! Does anyone know of a good school that teaches tec diving in Florida? I'm really looking forward to continuing my Tec...

I'm a NuB that just complete OW, NITROX, and AOW since 12/29 with 14 dives under my belt. I done about nine dives out of Pompano with ScubaTyme all for OW and AOW certifications. They were all nice dives. I've also done five with my brother. Two were with Little Deeper in Jupiter, and two with...

Shot all over from the Florida Keys to a quaint hotel pool in Kosrae and especially in my own backyard of Kona, this past year has left me with a lot of random video clips that each bring back a vivid memory for me. I'm usually much more of a still photographer, so all comments on videography...

I only have time for 2 more dive trips this year, after the dive trip I will be taking to Roatan next month. I am looking to dive the end of July, and possibly the middle of June OR mid-Oct to early November. I have considered West Palm Beach because of their shark diving, walls and wrecks...

A question I get asked a lot is “how do I know if a dive boat is a safe operation”? It’s not an easy answer but I will try and put forth some guidelines so you can know before you go. First, in the US, a dive boat should be a US Coast Guard (USCG) inspected vessel and the captain should be a...

I will have just one day to dive in early February while in Jupiter, FL, in route to Homosassa to photograph the manatees. I have been researching the diving in Jupiter. My options are a 3 tank dive where each dive is just sharks. OR, a 2-tank dive on reefs where sharks may be present. I am a...
