Inlet, you are so close to cave country right there. Why don't you contact the President of Dive Rite, Lamar Hires, and ask for a tech instructor referral? Dive Rite has been an SBO sponsor for a long time. Lamar is a great guy who is very knowledgeable on most things technical diving related.

During the 70's and 80's, Lamar was one of the pioneer underwater cave explorers. He helped to map many of north-central Florida's cave sites. He has since gone on to be a leader in technical diving: he is an active cave and technical diving instructor, and he recently retired as Chairman of the prestigious National Speleological Society-Cave Diving Section (NSS-CDS).

Their info is below. Good luck!
