More Best Places to Dive & Snorkel in Florida
Grab a map of Florida and you'll see why there are as many diving opportunities as there are gators in the glades. Looking
much like a long finger pointing into the blue oceanic waters, many of the best dive sites are within a few short hours drive
from just about anywhere in the state including your Florida apartment vacation rental.
You could dive from spots at the top of the Panhandle to the bottom of the Florida Keys - and every place in between. Here's a
roundup of the best places to enjoy Florida's underwater world.
Florida apartment vacation rental and Blue Grotto: Just about a stone's throw from the Devil's Den is the
Blue Grotto, the largest clear-water cavern in the state. Open to divers of all skill levels, the maximum depth you can reach
is 100 feet. A highlight to this site is the compressed air-supplied bell at 30 feet. You can enter and take the regulator out
of your mouth mid-dive and talk to your buddy.
Florida apartment vacation rental and Best Place to Dive with Sea Turtles: West Palm Beach
Gulf Stream-powered drift diving is the name of the game. The fast moving corridor of water brings a unique blend of excellent
visibility, beautiful corals and a rich life source of marine estuaries that provide a breeding ground for marine life.
Drifting effortlessly over mile after mile of spectacular coral reef and clouds of fish is like visiting an underwater zoo.
These fishy waters offer the diver more opportunities to interact with big critters such as sea turtles than just about
anywhere else in the world. During the season between May and September it is not uncommon to see a dozen or more of these
big cruisers drifting alongside you and your buddy. It is also not uncommon when keeping your eye to the blue to see a shark
or sailfish drift in; just remember you are on the migratory path of whales and other oceanic creatures.
