Hi Lee. Is there any good diving further north around Cape Canaveral
and surrounding areas that you know of?

Actually, no. It's in south Florida. The Florida Keys are the southernmost
part of Florida and, for that matter, of teh contenental US. Going north,
you hit Miami Dade County next (Miami), then Broward County (Fort
Lauderdale, more or less where I live), then Palm Beach County. Boca Raton
is at the southern end of Palm Beach County, about a half hour drive north
of Ft. Lauderale and about the same south of Boynton Beach

Try Google for an operator in Boca Raton or consider one in Boynton Beach.
I use Splashdown Divers our of the Sea Mist Marina in Boynton. The owner
operator is Lynn Simmons. Splashdown's web site is
http://www.splashdowndivers.com . Leo Sand is also a good owner/operator
leaving from the same marina. His website is http://www.deeper-dci.com/ .
Both are friends. If you use one of them, please tell them I recommended
them to you.

When do you think you might arrive and/or dive?
