Scuba Diving Florida

When you think scuba diving, you are probably thinking about scuba diving in Florida. The variety and options, from scuba diving for beginners to advanced Florida cave diving, are astounding.

Scuba diving vacations and trips for a weekend are probably the most common form of diving. Beginners receive lessons from certified scuba instructors until they are judged capable of going on supervised dives.

More experienced divers have many choices in planning a Florida scuba package. They can dive in either fresh water or salt water.  Artificial reefs are numerous and full of wonder marine life.

Shipwreck diving in Florida is extremely popular as well. Our coasts contain more shipwrecks than anywhere else in the United States, courtesy of the trading relationship (and storms) between Europe and the Americas. You never know if you will find some real treasure such as gold coins!

Cavern diving is scuba for professionals only. If you lose your way in a complex cave system, or dive too deep with too little oxygen reserve, dire consequences can ensue.

For those seeking a happy medium between reckless adventure and dipping their toes in, cage diving (also known as shark diving) is a popular event. Here, surrounded by a large metal cage, you can watch your charter guide feed sharks, and have them swim no more than a few feet from you.

No matter what your level of diving certification, Florida is sure to give you many happy memories.
