...If you had just one day to dive based out of Orlando?

[friscuba]

I've got a question for Florida locals. I'm planning on heading to Orlando this November for DEMA. We're making a Texas detour on the way so we've only got about 4 days available after the show for everything else we want to do.

We're thinking about the snorkeling with manatees thing so don't include that in the answers please.

If you had just one day to dive Florida, based out of Orlando so it's probalby need to be within 2 or so hours of there, where would you dive? Next time we make it out there we'll probably try to extend our trip and get a chance to explore more.

Thanks for any advice.

epcot (neat dive)
blue springs
alexander springs
daytona/new smyrna wrecks are your options I think

Dive Jupiter.


BTW, It may be too early in the season for the Manatees.

I'd go with Jupiter Dive Charters (www.jupiterdivecharters.com). Paul runs a great boat and limits it to 12 divers. You can even book the trip online on the website.

Jupiter...or Palm Beach just to the south. Healthy reefs with tons of fishies.

Somehow... I think there will be a ScubaBoard dive to coincide with DEMA. Either just before or just after, or just both!

If you're considering Jupiter, JDC is another option. www.jupiterdivecenter.com I use them a lot.
