Considering relocating to Naples...

[lhpdiver]

We are living just south of Boca. Have a house on the water, little whaler in the canal, 20 minutes and we are in the water. We get in about 6 tanks a week. Diving is very important to us.

An old friend, former employer, called this week and is starting a new company in Naples.

Is there any diving in the Naples area ? Would we have to drive across the state every weekend to go diving ? Could we take the whaler south a bit and hit some decent diving ?

We are both new instructors and my wife might want to teach scuba while I sat at the desk.

Thanks

Diving is way offshore there - some good stuff, but nothing serious close-in. These guys routinely go 65 miles one way, dive, haul the anchor, go another 70 miles somewhere else, dive, then go 50 miles to get back home. When I did that in the Navy, it was called a "deployment".
Cool you're on the water there in LHP. Ouch on the taxes though.

Thank goodness for the homestead... We also live north of sample (wrong side of the tracks). We bought 8 years back and today a decent condo costs what we paid for the house back then. We would love to downsize - but the taxes will be close to a wash.
