Travel and Accommodations

You’ll fly into Tampa, Florida anytime on Thursday rent a car for the weekend and drive to Crystal River. The Group leader/instructor will be staying at the Days Inn on Hwy 19 in Crystal River. For connivance we recommend you stay there too, however you’re welcome to stay at any of the hotels in Crystal River. Friday we’ll rent a pontoon boat (the cost of which will be divided between the students, usually no more than $25.00 each) and start the day snorkeling with the Manatee. We’ll then boat over to the dive site and do the training dives. Saturday we’ll drive to Blue Grotto, a spring feed sinkhole where we’ll do the remaining training dives. The entrance fee to Blue Grotto is about $30.00 per person. You’ll be responsible for tank and weight rental for the weekend which should only be about $25.00 and can be rented from the same place we rent the boat. Then we’ll fly home on Sunday. We recommend you make reservations for an afternoon flight so you get the recommended 24 hours between diving and flying.
