Hi folks,
My husband and I are thinking about making our first trip to FL next month, and I was wondering if I could get some advice about where to stay. Here's what we have in mind:
A hotel/condo on a nice beach
Good shore diving off the beach, as well as convenient tank rental (we'll have our own gear). I specified shore diving because one of us (ahem) is prone to sea-sickness. We might get on a boat, but it would be best if the majority of our diving could be from the beach. Or, a hotel close to a shore dive that has convenient tank rental would be OK, too.
We're advanced divers, but we don't have to be challenged to be satisfied; we'd be happy as long as vis is above 15' (which is considered "excellent" where we live) and water temp is above 72 (which is "warm" where we live).
As far as the accommodations themselves, we're not very picky, except that the place has to be clean and it would be nice if there was a decent pool.
Is there is such a thing as what we're hoping for? We will consider any suggestions. In your response, please include info about what the diving situation is like, i.e. typical conditions for July; length of walk to beach from tank rental; length of kick-out, if any; OK to dive without a guide.
Thanks a bunch!
