Recreational diving weekiwachi?

[00wabbit]

My wife just got OW certified. We are looking for somewhere simple to dive together so she can practice a little before we get to the keys. She always wanted to be a mermaid at Weekiwachee so this could be a cool place for her to dive. Do you know of any shops or instructors that can take us there mid-April?

If you are in Key Largo and she is nervous about stepping off a boat and wants to practice bouyancy and the like you could always do a couple warm up dives at Jules in Key Largo. A lagoon with tanks, etc. Lot of OW training is done there.

Thanks - I saw that. I was hoping for some personal experience. Or even an instructor not tied to a shop before I started calling around.

Thanks Steve_C We might just do that.

My son and myself used Beach City a couple of years ago shortly after certification. Lovely people and a great low tempo dive in a unique spot. The canyon is really impressive. Well worth doing once, especially early in your career. It got me very interested in our springs.
