Charters in Palm Beach and Broward Counties opened back up!

[Divin'Papaw]

The charters are back up and running with approx 50% capacity. Great time to get out as the boats won't be crowded!

I can't dive this weekend but booked for 5/9, 5/16 and 5/23!

what i can tell, it's eight divers...... the captain and dive master makes 10...... plus the customary 6 feet spacing with face covering mask while above water....how's that for complications?

ok, so quick question. If I wanted to take a four day trip to Florida with the family (wife, 5 year old and 17 year old), stay on the beach, do a couple of days of diving, and just generally try to forget about our stinky NYC apartment in say August, where would you recommend?

I don't want to spend a ton of money on a hotel as we are never in the room but to sleep but def want to be close to the beach and diving as I don't want to rent a car.

Thoughts?

Coming from NYC? As a local I say ... STAY HOME!! Hoping things will be better by August.

Currently all visitors from NY are screened and most are asked to self-isolate for 14 days. Hotels in SEFL are still shut down and the beaches remain closed. What the situation will be come August no one knows but I doubt we will be back to full business as usual. Time will tell.

August is the start of hurricane season so be aware of that as well.
