Hi guys,
I have used the search function and read through several Florida-related threads, but those are fairly old, and I'd like to get some updated info! I'd like to get your input on favorite freediving locations off the coast of Destin and PCB since it's a very doable driving distance from Atlanta for a weekend. I am aware of diving the springs down there, but for this conversation, I'd like to stick with the gulf.
I have heard that depth is fairly limited just off shore, but do you have and recommendations for good diving sites (shipwreck/reef) in the 70-100 foot range? I'd be interested in improving my bottom time in that depth range if that was the deepest we could go.
And on that note, do you have any boat charters that you could recommend that wouldn't completely break the bank for a day or two of diving? I reached out to Diver's Den in PCB yesterday to inquire about prices, but haven't heard back yet. I am hoping that they would let myself and a buddy tag along on a scuba boat or something of that nature.
Any additional thoughts on diving in this general area is much appreciated!
