| Gulf Coast |
| Diving in the local Gulf
is very different from the
typical reef dives you find
on the East Coast. The
marine life is diverse and
divers are very likely to
see much larger fish than
they encounter in the Keys.
The Goliath Groupers are
abundant and large. It can
be difficult to set up Gulf
dives because there are not
many charter boats that take
divers but the Caloosa Dive
Club has recently been able
to find a few captains who
are happy to accommodate our
group. |

| East Coast |
| Diving the East Coast is
easily organized and many
dive operators all along the
coast have active dive
charters. Many of the dives
are drift dives and there
are a number of good wrecks
to explore. Many divers
enjoy lobster season on the
East Coast and seem to come
back with their daily
limits. The Blue Heron
Bridge dive has become a hot
spot for many club members.
It is a short drive, shallow
water and tons of tiny
creatures to see and
photograph. |

| Florida Keys |
| The Florida Keys are a
favorite place for divers
all over the world. From the
natural coral reefs to the
big ships, some natural and
others intentionally sunk,
there is something for
everyone. Charter operators
are plentiful from Key Largo
to Key West. |

Bonaire, Curacao, Turks &
Caicos and Little Cayman.
