Hello Scuba board & Deep Dixie Divers,
I have a diving trip planned for the last week of March to Pensacola and the surrounding areas with my girlfriend. I've found a lot of great resources and references for planning this trip. I was hoping to get feed back on the places I was thinking about diving and also see if there were any groups planning a charter or any Lionfish hunts or anything cool like that.
A little background. The last time we were in Florida the weather didn't corporate and we were only able to dive at Jenny Springs. (wonderfully clear water!) so this will be me and my girlfriends first ocean diving experience! Since then we have about 15 freshwater dives in lakes and abandoned rock quarries since getting our open water dive certs.
What is the boards thoughts about new divers and the following? Any I should reconsider
Morrison Springs- freshwater I know, but looks rather stunning
Destin Jetties
Fort Pickens Jetties
Shiskey Wreck
and maybe also,
Pensacola pier
St Andrews Jetties
Navarre Pier
Lastly l made Sushi for 7 years and was hoping to spear enough Lionfish to make a meal out of! Would any of those sites be more likely to have lionfish?
Thank you
