Florida is the USA’s diving capital and offers the diver far greater opportunity for ocean, reef and spring diving than any other state in the nation.

Reef and beach diving is at its most pleasant and enjoyable when the winds are light during the summer months and early autumn.

Scuba diving and snorkelling in springs and rivers is possible all year round and both are available in the Englewood area.
