Hey, I was hoping someone here could give me a little advice on diving
in Florida. My girlfriend and I will be taking a cruise leaving on a
Thursday evening from Miami. We'll both be flying into Ft. Lauderdale
late Tuesday night close to midnight. We'd like to dive all day
Wednesday and as much as possible on Thursday before the ship departs.
I have my Advanced certification and she is a competent beginner.
We're debating a few possibilities. One would be to dive in Ft.
Lauderdale or Miami on both days. Or we could dive in Ft. Lauderdale
on Wednesday and drive down to Key Largo for Wednesday night - then
get up early Thursday for a couple dives before driving back to Miami.
Or maybe we could do both days in the upper Keys (drive down late
Tuesday and crash for a few hours). Neither of us have done any
diving in Florida, so we have no idea which places are better - nor
are we set on any of the locations I mentioned. I also don't know how
long it will take to drive from the airport to any of the Keys or how
long it will take to get back to whereever the ship will depart from.
Any advice or ideas??? Thanks in advance for all help - I really
appreciate it.
