Dive Group

Hey guys, do you have a dive group? I would be interested in joining, taking my boat out and going out with others. I usually go out of Ponce Inlet and like Marathon road trips. I will go anywhere in search of lobster, stone crab and lion fish. Will shoot fish also.

 

I've been certified since 1985. Have several beep dives under my belt. Not nitrox cert. But I guess I can get it. Several 200 plus foot dives but that was when I was young and dumb. Love to get into it again

 

I'm in same boat with dive ladder

 

Did you bum up your arm too? Haven't heard from ya in a while, figured life got you busy.

 

Micheal lol no been back and forth between here and St Louis

 

Ok bench warmers lets get this dive group going and stop talking about it ( was planning a dive for today but had to cancel due to a person backing out)

 

is this thread still alive?
I have been fishing and diving Ponce and Canaveral for 10+ years. I need some new dive friends. My old group just is not as passionate about it
anymore. I would like to find a small group of regulars to dive once or twice a month. My boat / your boat...
How do we get this group started???

 

i'm waiting to see some pics guys!!

 

Just wanted to introduce myself to the other divers in the group. Me and my wife are both certified and always up for an adventure (as long as we can find a babysitter for our 4 daughters, 6mo, 4yrs, 8yrs, and 16yrs). We have our basic open water certification but plan to do our advanced very soon. I have several boats for a variety of purposes. I also plan to do a freediving certification course early next year in Tampa, I'll be sure to make a post to invite any other members to join the same class. We also go to the keys frequently for lobstering and spend a lot of time in Crystal River / Homosassa for a variety of activities including summer scalloping. Always up for making friends and sharing in new adventures, and happy to pass along any info on my experiences, good or bad, lol.

 

I'm in lake Mary. I have dove a wreck off Daytona and seen some large bugs on some ledges. I want to go diving more next yr. I have a boat and so does my friend. Let me know when and where. Just went to west Palm about a month ago.

 

Nice! Wasn't sure if you could find bugs that far north, a fat lobster in the bag always makes any dive better!

 

Me and my wife signed up today for a free diving course. The course takes place at an Alachua dive shop and the dives will be done at Troy Springs, it's a 2.5 day course from January 20th to the 22nd. There's three spots left if any members our interested. It's through Emersion Free Diving. My current best static breath hold is 1min 30sec and 20' is about as deep as I've been, the course stops short of making promises but most participants make the 66' goal. I'll let you guys know how it works out and anyone interested is welcome to sign up.

 

Anyone want to go diving in the next couple weeks? I will be in town and have always wanted to lobster and spearfish.

 

I will be in town the 2nd of January for about 2 weeks. I was hoping to do a dive with Sea Dogs out of New Smyrna as I will be staying in NSB. I also have a friend who has to do his 4 checkout dives for his open water certification and was going to go with Sea Dogs for the certification as well unless anyone has other dive operators that they recommend.

We will also be doing a ton of surf fishing and pier fishing while we are in town if anyone wants to fish with two USMC veterans who live to fish and dive let me know.
