Florida planning

I’ll be leaving for Florida next Friday and I’m about to start packing all my gear. With that being said I have two questions, Anything specific I need to bring or need to not bring as far as dive gear goes. For instance I doubt I’ll be in need of my 2 piece 7 mil. and I will probably need my snorkel unlike lake diving where I never use it. Anything you guys can think of? I’ve talked to a couple people about diving together while I’m down there but as a back up plan I’d like to have a charter that I can book with. Any suggestions?

You haven’t said where you’re goingi n Florida. If you’re diving here in the Panama City Beach area then you won’t need anything special. The water temperature at the moment is 78F and people are wearing shorties and rash guards (personally I’m in a 3/2 full wetsuit, but that is just me). Torches are either used for looking into the wrecks or for night diving (the viz at the moment is 40+ ft). No need for some form of search light!!
