Not really… I live in South Orlando, near Kissimmee. Palatka is about 2.5 hours away. So I’m in the general location, but it’s not in my backyard! Cave diving… you Michiganders sure like that cold water! Cave diving takes another cert card. Personally I’ve been diving in The Keys, Hawaii, Rotan Honduras, and Bonaire… all warm waters and easy diving. My group is looking for a great dive/vacation spot for this summer, perhaps Cancun or Belize.

Your welcome here. Lot of great diving in the great lakes.
I’ve done some cave diving in ginnie springs (dveils ear…) are you near there?

Thanks for the information. Perhaps I will come up there to dive someday soon. Be safe!

Hello. It was July. Surface temps were probably around 70, but at depth 80-100 temps are close to freazing, at around 38 degrees. We dive in drysuits, but a few others on the boat were in wetsuits. While I personally havent taken a drysuit class, there is one available but not required. This was a recreational dive so since we didn’t penetrate these wrecks (too much) anyone with advanced dive card can go.

I grew up in Michigan, but moved down to Florida and have only experienced warm waters. So, what time of year (I assume it was summer) and what was the water temp? Also, did you dive in dry suits. Is there an additional certification recommended (say… for cold water) aside from wreck diving cert? I am fascinated to say the least.

Very cool!
Maybe someday I’ll take up diving,but for now I’ll just enjoy flying PPG.
