Florida Diving Holiday Destinations On The Atlantic Coast

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Thousands of scuba scuba divers visit Florida on a Florida diving holiday due to the huge variety of diving sites you can find on the Florida coastline.

A little known fact is that apart from being situated in a nice and warm region, Florida has the longest coastline of all the states in the United States

First, let’s look at the Atlantic coast. Up and down this coast line are 3 lines of reefs, outer reef, middle reef and inner reef giving some of the finest diving sites from Jupiter, just north of West Palm Beach, all the way down to Key West.

Another unique characteristic along the Atlantic coastline is the current provided by The Gulf Stream which moves up north along the coastline before sweeping out east and into the Atlantic.

The Gulf Stream provides a cleansing action for the marine bio system and brings with it nutrients which provides essential food for the growing marine system.

Many travelling to Florida diving for the first time are amazed at the range and diversity of scuba dive sites available.

Florida Diving Destinations From Jupiter Down To Miami
Starting at Jupiter and working your way down south along the coastline you will find an amazing choice of reefs and shipwrecks to explore with some dive sites like Governor’s River Walk Reef having well known shipwrecks such as the Shasha boerkanier which is one of three shipwrecks at this dive site.

In West Palm Beach Florida diving beginners can still enjoy a thrilling experience scuba diving popular reef systems such as Breakers Reef.

Travel south down the coast and you find Ft. Laud. Known as “The Venice of America” this is a fabulous place to visit on any Florida diving trip.

Fort Lauderdale has interesting diving sites such as Tenneco Towers or Oil Platforms. There are plenty of interesting choices and when you travel further south you get to Miami.

Miami! Probably the only spot in the world you would expect to hit upon Army tanks on the seabed.

Miami is a fantastic location to visit on a Florida diving vacation with locations like South Beach with its Art Deco and the many Miami attractions. There is also a vast choice of dive sites due to the unending artificial reef program.

Florida Diving Destinations From Key Largo Down To Key West
Of course no Florida diving trip can be taken without taking into account a visit to Key Largo or Key West, The Keys.

Key Largo has long been known as “The Scuba Diving Capital of the World” and when you see the choice of dive sites it’s easy to see why.
The U.S.S. Spiegel, the largest ship ever purposely sunk taking a full 3 days to fully survey. Other shipwrecks include the Duane and Bibb.

Some of the best underwater photography has been taken at Molasses Reef. The reef is located in fairly shallow waters and therefore provides good lighting. Molasses Reef is full of color and shapes provided by some of the finest marine life in the area and the opportunities to develop your underwater photography skills is endless.

People often plan their Florida diving trip with a plan to scuba the Key Largo diving sites but if your looking for a more rounded experience which includes nightlife and culture then travel further south to Key West.

Many scuba divers prefer the complete package, fun in the water and out, and Key West provides both. Great scuba dive sites and streets full of entertainment means the place is bouncing in the night so you can enjoy yourself 24 hours a day.

So far we have had a very brief look at the Atlantic coast and have not even tried looking on the west coast, The Gulf of Mexico, but that is for another day.

Ironman Triathlon: Distance Running, Swimming and Biking

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Considered as the most challenging race and endurance event across the globe, the Ironman Triathlon is an annual race held in Hawaii since 1978. It started out when U.S. Navy Commander John Collins proposed that there be a race combining swimming, running, and biking. It was then just an answer to the long-standing debate between the local athlete clubs on which athlete is greaterthe swimmer, the sprinter, or the cyclist.

Thus, on February 18, 1978, Hawaiians held the first Ironman Triathlon. It was participated in by 15 individuals. Twelve completed the three-pronged race, which consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike, and 26.2-mile rundefinitely a piece of cake. And the first to cross the finish line that day? A former Navy communication specialist named Gordon Haller. Considered the first ever Ironman, he completed the race in 11 hours, 46 minutes, and 58 seconds. Well, nothings really amazing if someone had run, swum, and biked for half a day without rest, right?

Today, held by the World Triathlon Corporation around October each year, the race is still held in Hawaiithe swimming leg in Kailua-Kona Bay, the cycling stretch on the lava desert to Hawi, and the running marathon by the shores from Keauhou to Kailua-Kona.

Thousands of athletes and non-athletes alike flock to Hawaii each year to participate and test their endurance in the Ironman Triathlon. Before the competition, participants are briefed on the rules and parameters of the competition. And, I bet, not a few had permanently etched in their brains the Ironmans trademarked motto printed on the last page of the rules hand-out as if to challenge the racersSwim 2.4 miles! Bike 112 miles! Run 26.2 miles! Brag for the rest of your life! If only that motto is so easy to carry out on your own.
