Winter dives in Florida

[100days-a-year]

I dive 7 mil 2 piece with 3 mil hood from late dec. to early mar.Buddy has drysuit during same time,but he dives doubles every dive to.Molas are seen every other trip or so.Many times new divers are intimidated by thier size and freaky appearance.Right now we are still diving skins or shorty.WT Sunday was 81 top to bottom.

Thanks Tony, can you recommend any good dive ops?

www.altlanticprodivers.com but I don't think many charters go out much later than mid-november.There are a lot of storms and the water is too cold for most southern divers close in .Most of the charters stay closer than 20 miles to save time and gas .If I were to dive Fla in winter by charter I'd probly start at Fort Pierce on down.Having your own or a friends boat changes your whole diving world .
