Scuba Forum / General / June 2005Florida improvisation
If you were going to just jump in your car and drive to Florida with no reservations or plans to stay anywhere with a goal and a hope of finding a cheap place to stay with good diving options near by and maybe a beach for the wife, where would you go? I intend to try this in mid-June.

Yes, get yourself to the East Coast of Florida: Jupiter and West Palm are good. Stop by any dive shop and pick up a copy of Florida Scuba News. You'll find coupons for cheap places to stay that offer diver discounts and reasonable dive packages. Also, Pompano Beach (Ft. Lauderdale) is good. Dive with South Florida Diving Headquarters. If you do get down to the Keys, the diving is great. Wonderful wrecks (if you are advanced, don't miss the Duane and Spiegel Grove), and the wife can shop or hang out at the hotel/motel. There are plenty of Mom & Pop places with little private beaches, hammocks, BBQ grills, etc. A few I can think of off the top of my head in Key Largo & Tavernier: Neptune's Hideaway, Popp's Motel, Conch On Inn, Islamorada Motel. Also, you can use the facilities (beaches, pools, tiki bars, etc.) at Holiday Isle at MM 84. You "don't have to stay there to play there" is their motto. Have a great trip!

Cheap, good beaches, and the best diving in the US. m > If you were going to just jump in your car and drive to Florida with no > reservations or plans to stay anywhere with a goal and a hope of finding a > cheap place to stay with good diving options near by and maybe a beach for > the wife, where would you go?

The next town down: Isamoralda is fun too. Pretty low key places but lots of decent diving and fishing. I actually saw a marlin or sailfish while on the anchor line at one of the wrecks. > > If you were going to just jump in your car and drive to Florida with no > > reservations or plans to stay anywhere with a goal and a hope of finding a [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > anywhere on the east coast south of west palm beach. |
