Our family will be coming to Orlando in November, and my 11 year old daughter and I would like to escape the Disney tractor beam for a few days and go diving. I am Rescue Diver certified and my daughter earned her Junior Open Water Certification this summer. Ideally, we would like to find a charter within 1.5-2 hours drive of the Orlando area, and would appreciate a suggestion or two regarding dive charters in the respective area(s).
This will be her first time diving in the ocean, so having a charter understanding of her depth limitations and showing her as much marine life as possible is important to me.
Thanks all!
Even though it's going to seem so, I don't mean to be disrepectful. But you can ignore the advice given above. While Jupiter has excellent diving, most is well outside 60 ft. and can see extreme currents.
PADI and SSI both limit 10 and 11 year olds to 40 feet, and 12, 13, and 14 year olds to 60 feet...
