Where to dive in Florida
Jeff Kell
input on Florida diving outfits, particularly those you had good experiences
with. I'm putting together a brief list/directory (no details at this point)
on shops and liveaboards available. This list was largely gleaned from the
trade mags (FL Scuba News, Rodales, Scuba Times, Skin Diver, etc) but I'm
trying to make it a collective list. When the list gets "reasonably" full,
I will post again to solicit votes (thumbs up/thumbs down) on shops you have
had first-hand experience with, and that info will be appended.
For now, if you just have any other shops to add to the list, please reply
to me (directly - let's not annoy the list with individual replies) and I
will add them to the list.
Thanks in advance.
