I posted this question in Florida section as it was directed towards the Florida diving community. Would like to hear the thoughts of people on this community as well. Thanks ...
Forgive me for asking what might seem a stewpid question but for those of you who have been diving in Florida and further south towards Bahamas / Caribbean, how does Florida diving compare to these other tourist destinations? From what I know Florida Keys will offer some of the best dives in the world. With the diva capital of the world located in Florida - your own back yard, exactly what makes divers flock to these places? Better underwater visibility? More abundant marine life? Personal desire to get out of the country? Booze? Aggressive advertising but tour operators?
I want to know that for someone who has not fully explored Florida diving, would a trip to these "exotic" dive destinations offer something new and remarkable?
