Scuba Diving in Jupiter Florida Can anyone recommend a Dive boat?

[Tampabay]

Hi, I have been diving for a couple of Months (only Fresh) water. I will be in Jupiter Florida for 20+ days on a business trip and would like to know if any one is interested in Diving with a still rookie? I'll be there from March 6 thru 28, 2005. Or if any one can recommend a good Diving boat. Especially for beginners. Either in Jupiter or Palm Beach area...Here is my e-mail address jewelryoutlet2000@yahoo.com

Best Regards, To all

Hey whats up tampa bay?

I find this kind of annoying to have regional requests for buddies in general forums. Would it be possible for an admin to move this to the florida regional board?

Thanks a lot

Pick a boat that will remain afloat with a DM that can count higher than the number of people on board.

You could try Jupiter Dive Charters, good op. BUT, the current can be pretty stong out of Jupiter, not sure if it's the best for new divers.

I agree with Captain Hook 100%.... Jupiter isnt really the place for a new diver, stronger currents aren't as bad as the depth usually around 80 feet, but you can see MUCH deeper. If you do go out of Jupiter I would check click here Jupiter Dive Charter's would be my first choice. Captain Paul is THE MAN when it comes to safety and keeping divers safe. He has an incredible crew as well (Kimberely's my favorite and many will agree with me). I dive several times a week, if you want to hook up and do some diving while your here, send me a pm,.

Cheers,

Use Jupiter Dive Charters in Jupiter - exit 87A on I-95 from the south - well, actually in Tequesta if you're picky; use Narcosis Dive Charters out of Riviera Beach Marina - exit 74 or 76 off I-95.
Both ops put a DM in the water with you plus they'll let you dive to the limits of your skills and comfort level.

I agree with the posters above... If you are a new diver, go to West Palm first. I love Captain Ray and Narcosis, but the most "newbie" friendly boat in the area to me is Pura Vida. They are OVER THE top on safety. Even if you know what you are doing, they put pretty tight limits on you. But when I take new divers out - that is who I use.

But once you get comfortable with WPB - GO TO JUPITER!!!! Much better diving in my opinion.

I agree that Jupiter Dive Charters is good, especially for new divers. I usually book through Scuba Works (561-575-3483).

I usually dive with Blue Tang (772-260-7853, Mike). They are really good too.

Diving has been great lately...current has been pretty mild with good visibility... temp around 71-72 deg.
