Considering a Shore dive in Daytona Beach

[Lone Frogman]

I thought it was all about blowing bubbles and getting wet.

Ditto that, I find a place to dive everywhere I go.

Here in Galveston TX no one dives from shore. The vis is zreo. Like night diving. Get out 7 miles to the blue via boat. That cost $250.00 so most dive rock pits with the same zero vis. I like the challenge of the Gulf from the shore. Getting wet and blowing bubbles.

New Smyrna Beach is real close to Daytona. Sea Dog Divers has a good boat and trips.

That might be a wise choice, I've not heard of any beach diving between Daytona and Cocco. I live in DB area and seriously considering a Venice Beach trip (2.5 hrs drive) tomorrow (9/15). if you are interested, pm me via this site.

Hey, Thanks for the invite. I hope you had a good time in Venice. I wasn't able to respond to your message because I went on a cruise to the the Bahamas and just got back today. My mom lives in Venice and my Brother is in Sartasota. Back in may, my brother and I did a shore dive south of Sharky's. We looked for sharks teeth and found several small ones. It was a fun dive.

Let us know how your dive went.

As far as a shore dive in Daytona, I might go ahead and do it anyway. Might not be much to see but it won't cost me anything but a tank fill. Then I can say, "been there...done that."

If you choose to do the dive, let me know, I'll be happy to meet up with you and dive it too. A bad day diving is better than a great day at work....

My wife and I are headed down to Ormond Beach in March, and we were considering doing a shore dive. I'm curious how it turned out, or if it was sand, sand, more sand, and low viz.

There is :noNO shore:no diving in Daytona. IF you do it. All you will see is SAND

Head down to Lauderdale-By-The-Sea or Pompano Beach if you want to shore dive. It's worth the day-trip.

If you are thinking that way, then I strongly suggest you dive Alexander Springs, that will cost you an air fill + $5.50. It won't be salty but it will provide you with a shore dive and lots of fresh water wild life. right now springs are warmer than the gulf or ocean....
