What part of Florida will you be vacationing in? Key West, Ft Lauderdale area, cave country, panhandle, or the gulf coast?

That will give posters an idea of what dive sites you will be near.

As @ScubaSam has mentioned, where in FL are you vacationing? It’s a big state!

Share where in the state you’ll be and you’ll get lots of recommendations. May want to have this moved to the Florida forum as well. You’ll get more visibility by folks that dive FL regularly.

I want to dive in this ‘rad sea’ you mention!!!
(I know it’s a typo, I just love the name!)

Do you like reef or wreck diving ?

Hi @almog

If I only had 2 or 3 days, I would probably recommend Jupiter. It's something like a 2 1/2 hour drive from Orlando. You will be too late for Lemon Shark aggregation but a good chance to see sharks, Goliath Grouper, turtles, the usual reef fish.

I use Jupiter Dive Center, there are several good operators others can speak to. With JDC, you could get up to 4 dives/day. Will you have your equipment? JDC has busy rental service if you need things, nitrox cylinders are readily available. There are some baited/feeding shark dives that others can tell you about, if you are interested.

Best wishes for a good visit

Another vote for Jupiter and Jupiter Dive Center.

Also, if you will be in the Keys and enjoy wrecks, Key Largo has the Spiegel Grove. It is a fantastic wreck dive that takes many dives to see it all. I would recommend Horizon Divers in Key Largo.
