I would check out Scuba World Orlando. They could probably help you to set up some dives. The shop is owned by a fellow by the name of John Shimkoski. He is a retired Army Special Forces Diver. their web site is www.scubaworld.net and their phone is (407) 273-3373


Good luck, Have fun & safe diving.

I won’t be there but was just gonna say that you should try the Disney Epoct Center Aquarium dive while there. I was there in December and loved it!! Wish I was going again :)

I’m thinking it was about 150.00, which included a tour of aquarium operations and a 40 min dive. They provide everything and set it up for you. Your welcome to bring your own mask if you want to but not necessary. They also have a really nice changing room with showers, shampoos, towels, lockers, hairdryers, etc. They have several staff divers that oversee the whole operations and it was the first time I dove with sharks. Overall I was really happy with it. I also bought a video of the dive which is great. A bit pricey but love it and wouldn’t mind doing it again. I love aquariums so it was fantastic to dive in one.
