Where you’ll dive in Palm Beach & Treasure Coast
Real sites, with honest depths. Kaitlyn will tell you which of these your certification level actually suits before you book anything.
A shore dive under the Blue Heron Boulevard bridge with an 800-foot artificial reef and famously dense macro life. No boat needed, and the best conditions are at slack high tide — plan your day around the tide table.
Where the Gulf Stream runs closest to shore in Florida. Drift diving with turtles, reef sharks, goliath grouper and regular big-pelagic encounters.
Treasure Coast reef and ledge sites, quieter than Jupiter and good for a relaxed training or pleasure day.
The county’s offshore wreck fleet — the natural next step for Advanced and wreck training.
Blue Heron Bridge is a course site and a destination
It is unusual to find a world-class dive with a free parking lot, but that is Blue Heron Bridge: shallow, shore-accessible, and packed with critters. For instruction it is close to ideal — you walk in, you can stand up if you need to, and the small stuff on the bottom gives a new diver something to look at while their skills come together. Time it to slack high tide, because at full flow the inlet does not forgive.
Drift diving, taught properly
Gulf Stream drift dives are the signature of this region, and they are a skill rather than just a location: boat deployment, staying with the group at speed, deploying a surface marker, and surfacing into traffic. Kaitlyn teaches all of it deliberately before throwing you into a 2-knot ride.
She comes to you. Kaitlyn is based in Venice and travels for instruction across Florida — Palm Beach & Treasure Coast included. Give her as much lead time as you can and she arranges the pool, the boat and the dates around your group rather than handing you a fixed class calendar. Travel cost and scheduling depend on distance, group size, and how many days you need; she quotes it directly when you send your dates.
