What type of diving do you like?

I like Narcosis out of WPB: Scuba Diving West Palm Beach Florida with Narcosis Dive Charters

Diving Solutions is more "newbie friendly" and can sometimes be a cattle boat (up to 25~ people) but is well run. It all depends on what you want to do whether it just be site see, spearfish, wrecks, etc.

I have done many drift dives off WPB with Jim Abernathy's. They are a really good outfit. I have used them many times.

Smile Skill Level

I have my advanced certification through NAUI in 2003 and have been diving since 2001. I have about 35 dives under my belt, however 30 of them have been in the cold waters of Lake Erie and prior to 2003. Since I am not close to water I only dive twice a year if I am lucky on vacation.

To make things difficult for me my newlywed wife doesn't have her cert. (I should have made this a requirement before we tied the knot!) We are working on it though and I am taking her in the pool tomorrow.

Anyways, because of this I am looking for some good snorkeling. I will probably end up doing only one dive.

Thanks for all the quick responses.
