Dan,
We're going out on the 20th to the Hole in the Wall to celebrate my 100th dive. JDC does the Hole in the Wall dives on Sunday now instead of Fridays. You are more than welcome to join us for that. Otherwise, May 4 may be a possibility if there are any openings left on the Titusville group that is chartering JDC. Either of those dates sound appealing to you?

Carrie,
That's the beautiful thing with divers.....it's always a party.....LOL. I went out about a month ago with a buddy who was celebrating her birthday and we had a party on the boat after the last dive. On New Year's Eve we went on a night dive (last dive was at midnight), and the captain had champagne awaiting us on our last ascent (none of this was on JDC, just for the record).
Looking forward to diving with you again. You're a fantastic dive buddy and I hope we get hundreds of dives in together

Do you belong to the DUDC? They're located in the Cocoa/Palm Bay/Titusville area. They are a fantastic group of people that are very active in diving. There are 12 of us that are going on the Aqua Cat this July, and we dive in this area on a fairly regular basis (besides the first Saturday of the month, which just started).
The Esso Bonaire is a nice dive. There's actually 3 wrecks that are fairly close together on this dive, so you'll (we'll) probably see the string of them on the second dive. There are some fantastic reefs closeby, so I'm sure the third dive will be full of marine life and a great dive.

I'm not part of any group but I'll look into DUDC. As long as I can get on one wreck I'll be happy. Last month I did a couple of drift dives and now I'm ready to get back on a wreck.

A buddy of mine and I will be in the Jupiter area from May 12-15. We'll be driving down to Key Largo on the 16. Really want to do Hole in the Wall, but don't want to be out on the water that whole day on Friday the 16th and JDC tells me that just doing the first dive isn't an option because they don't go back in to the shop between dives.
Anybody have any suggestions? Any other shops that go to hole in the wall? Or any groups that also want to do it from the 12th to the 15th and we could charter JDC together?
Also, and tops on other good dives in the Jupiter/ West Palm area would be great. Thanks!

If you want to do a 1 tank dive in West Palm, contact The Scuba Club 561-844-2466. They are a great outfit. You won't go to hole in the wall, but you will see a great reef no matter where they take you.
As for hole in the wall, I've had a couple of great dives there. Once I caught a glimpse of a tiger shark cruising through.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the dives with JDC. The Esso Bonaire isn't going to be any comparison to the Spiegel Grove, Duane, or any of the big wrecks, but it's a nice dive. I'll be passing your area (actually stopping in today to have lunch with a friend in Cocoa) on my way to my timeshare in Ormond Beach for the week. Do you know of any area around the Ormond area to do any diving?
OP
The only other one I know that MIGHT go to the Hole in the Wall is Emerald Charters. But he's also a 3 tank boat, so you might have trouble finding someone to do just the Hole. Like Chipmon said, if you want a one tank dive, go with The Scuba Club, but you won't be going to the Hole. Another nice one tank dive is the Blue Heron Bridge (in Phil Foster Park), which is a shore dive that you do in slack high tide. You can usually get a good hour and a half on a tank of air and see lots of really cool things. For other good charters in the area besides JDC, there is the Little Deeper, Pura Vida, and Jim Abernethy's (all in West Palm Beach) that I found to be good. Good luck.

I had a really great time diving with you as well!!! Looking forward to the 19th. (I'm trying to talk my sister into learning how to dive. We are going to have to make it look really cool for her while she's onboard.
)Meh. I AM glad I didn't drive down THIS weekend for diving. Yuck. Pretty dreadful. BUT, I hope your spring break is starting off well and you have a relaxing week!!
