What is diving southeastern Florida like?

He's been doing this for 30 years, very publicly, I'm sure that all of the Keys marine officers are quite aware of it. It's near the Benwood Wreck, I'll let you research if it's Florida or Federal. It's certainly a real good time.

Maybe its my imagination but I seem to remember a pretty big TV show showing Slate feeding Psycho, his friend, the barracuda.

Yes, the creature feature is awesome.

There are those that say it 'modifies' the animals behavior (probably true in this case) and those that say it does no harm.

I would argue that a fed barracuda, nurse shark or whatever is priceless in terms of its value at educating people as to the wonders of the underwater world. Every day, people leave similar dive sites around the world with an education and enthusiasm for marine conservation.

Hoping to book today. I am going to do one of the sites below. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful info. I remembered this thread and it helped quite a bit in finding something to dive

ps: These days, I find what is "above the surface" just as interesting as what is "below the surface". Have to weigh it all out when making a choice.

When you are up Charleston SC way, look me up!

Happy diving!
