Diving in Jacksonville

[sidneydiver]

I'm thinking about going up to Jacksonville to dive and I was wondering about dive charters up there. I've seen the websites for Atlantic Pro Divers but also for Offshore Divers and the Diamond Diver. They offer an overnight trip with 2 night dives and then 3 dives the following day.

I'm mainly interested in doing some good wreck diving. Can anyone recommend good dives and a dive charter to do them with?

Thank you!

Any one of the 3 will do.Diamond Diver is the only really customizable one.
Mostly diving relatively inshore artificials and some ledges.Vis and conditions vary depending on recent weather.There is a chance right now to see sand tigers on most of the artificial stuff.A slim chance(but it happens) of seeing Molas,Right Whales or a GWS now til about April.Spearfishing is really good til then and bugs are still available.

Let me know if / when you are headed up. I have only dove with Atlantic Pro Divers out of Jax http://www.atlanticprodivers.com/charter.html nice crew. Vis was bad but that is not their fault.

Atlantic Pro Dive is the way to go. Great guys and they hit some good wrecks [tugs, barges, etc.] Offshore Jax is always a great time--lots to see and while the vis is sometimes hit or miss, it's generally quite a bit better than most people think.

As far as wrecks go, check out the Anna, Huggins, Casablanca, and some of the other barges and tugs too. Personally I like the Anna and the Huggins freighter, but then again there's the ferry out at BR, Vic's Barge, Coppedge. Ughh, too many great wreck dives, I'll just answer all of the above. I hope the weather cooperates with you and enjoy!
