Florida-New family of Open Water divers

[Floridaman79]

Hello everyone,
I recently completed Open Water certification along with my 3 children and just completed our first dive at Blue Heron Bridge!

Seeing as the hook has been set I am finding this board coming up often during my research, so figured I would sign up and say hello. This site is a tremendous resource for new divers.

Welcome! Lots of Florida local divers here on ScubaBoard! Be sure and keep an eye on the Florida forum for sure. If you "watch" the forum, you will get a notification for all new threads. That is a good way to help follow local activity.

Lots of coasts, caves, springs, rivers and lakes... Diving in Florida is some of the best in the United States. South Florida diving is home to the 3rd largest barrier reef in the world! The Florida Forum is open for all posts relating to Florida Diving, whether they are commercial in nature...

Thank you for this. I went ahead and added it to the watch list. I have been making a bucket list on all the places I want to dive here.

Welcome! I see you're up in Brevard County; i'm in Indian River (Vero Beach). A great local resource is the Vero Beach Scuba Club. Find the group on Facebook. It's free! Member dive all over and you'll find BHB dives, charters, and even travel (hint...i'm running a trip to Cayman Brac in Feb 2026!)

Come on up to the springs sometime. This is Cave Country, and all of the water is sweet.
