I am planning a trip to northern Florida with my 2 kids at spring break (mid March 2009). My youngest child will be doing his course work and pool dives in Baltimore starting in 2 weeks. He is 11 years old, so will be limited to 40 feet or less. I am asking for suggestions for dive operators or independent instructors (PADI preferred, as this is my son's certification agency) in that area who would be able to do his referral dives. I thought about Ginnie Springs; but they have a minimum age of 12. Crystal River has a couple of dive shops that might work, but I thought that the rest of us would get sort of bored there for 2 days. I have in mind going to some of the other springs in the area such as Troy, Rainbow River, Devil's Den, Blue Grotto. Does anybody have other suggestions for instructors in that general area? Thanks for the help. Ben in Baltimore.
