I have a new OW diver I just certed coming to the area in Mid July. He's is asking for recommendations for dives/shops/operators to get in one day of diving. Bringing his wife and kids so it's not a dive vacation. Just would like to get some dives in. He will need to rent BC, regs, tanks, weights.
Message me ASAP with recommendations.
Thanks, Jim
 
I can highly recommend Cpt Rod at Welcome To Dive Clearwater! . I usually try to arrange a trip with him when I am in the area and I've also taken the non diving family along. They have a leisurely breakfast and spend the morning on the beach whilst I dive and I join them on return, which is about 12.30
Rod will also be able to supply all gear

The diving is fairly easy with little current so good for a newbie. I did my first dives after certification out of Clearwater so talk from experience

Rod has some great stories from his time as an on site expert in the movies and documentaries to keep you occupied during the long trips out and back too
