Fly & Dive: Blue Heron Bridge & Shark Diving - Florida 2017
September 13, 2017
Includes 2 dives at the world famous Blue Heron Bridge - a bucket list location for most divers. These dives will be on Steel 100's with ~ 32% EAN Nitrox due to the length of the dives - Blue Heron Bridge is a shallower dive site, so bottom times are expected to be on the long side :-). We will also be doing a 3 tank (again ~ 32% EAN breathing gas) ocean dive to go play with the sharks (Divers - no touching the sharks! Sharks - no touching the divers!)
​
Divers on this trip must be Nitrox certified and at least Advanced Open Water certified. Guess what - we offer both of these programs before we go. Contact us for details and to make a reservation.
