Best Place and Time to See Loggerheads?

[Mattar]

Howdy, We were hoping some divers (not salesmen) could tell us where and when is the best time to see Loggerhead Turtles in Florida?

welcome aboard, Mattar

you might want to tell us a bit more about yourself here and ask your question
in the Florida Conch DIvers forum:

http://www.scubaboard.com/f55-florida-conch-divers.html

the locals will be able to get you some good info

i have heard, but have no first hand knowledge, that most loggerheads
nest between Cape Canaveral and Sebastian Inlet to the south, especially within
the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge.

also, i understand that mating takes place in late march-early june, and eggs are
laid throughout the summer. i would imagine this is the best time to spot them.

best of luck!

Thanks a lot for your information.
The name "Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge" was one of the big missing pieces!
Through their website we find that there is were the turtle nest!!!!
Now we need to find if we can dive there or it not how close to it can we dive.
Thanks again H2Andy!
