Too many to mention...
Ripro,
There are not many springs south of Blue Springs/central Florida. Once you get into the Gainesville area (within 30-45 minutes), however, there are too many to mention. Read back through this thread and you will read about some of them.
PM me for more info if you want to.
Thanks,
Scott

I'm a diver out of the Bradenton area (just south of Tampa Bay). I am new to free-diving, but I've been scuba-diving for a few years (need to start advancing my certs again however).
I try to go out diving whenever possible on the reefs offshore of Anna Maria Island (I starting to lifeguard there for Manatee County Marine Rescue, so it's pretty familiar).
Anyway- me and a buddy are looking into some drift dives on the east coast. Anybody know some good sites/boat operators that I should check into? Anybody wanna' join? Much obliged!
Anyway, I'm a firefighter and EMT, so I'm constantely in new classes- hence, I love to learn... so if anybody out there knows somethign I don't about any aspects of diving, I can guarentee I will make a good student.
Or if you just need a good dive buddy, PM me.
Cheers

Re: West Palm Beach freediving
I have a 34 foot Regal sport cruiser, set up well for diving...We go out virtually every weekend, and half of what we do is freediving, the other half scuba. Anyone here who wants to freedive, just email me that you want to go out on a given weekend. I am not looking for people to chip in on gas, what I am looking for is more people to freedive with.
We have Horseshoe Reef, the boynton Reefs, and the Del Ray ledge all good for freediving...We also go to the Bahamas once in a while...

Hello fellow Flordians,
New to the site and the freediving world. I have a good friend as a coach and we have been looking for several areas in the Northern Panhandle (Navarre/Ft. Walton Beach Area) to do some dives. Any information on local hotspots and any clubs worth noting would be greatly appreciated. Also looking to take some classes. Thanks.

I'll be back in so fla for a couple weeks in October. If anyone is interested in getting wet, I'll probably be hitting lauderdale by the sea as thats the area i'm most familiar with, but am open to suggestions. I'll have a vehicle so can meet wherever.
Shoot me a PM if you're available.
