Florida Key West Scuba Diving

The Florida Keys reef is the world’s third largest barrier in the world. The place seems to be designed for scuba diving. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is the place to dive in; the best way to get there will be book a spot on the dive boat for the size of your group. The expensive option would be that of a private charter. It will be a sensational scuba diving experience in different areas of the reefs being so famed that they have names. Some of the reef areas the divers would encounter are the Benwood wreck, French Reef, Snapper Ledge, Key Largo Dry Rocks and Pillar Corals. 

The Benwood wreck has a depth range of 25-45 feet. It’s a wreck of a ship used for practice by the armed forces now it’s become the home of corals and fish. The bows are intact and are a worthy reef to see. French Reef boasts of Christmas caves and 40 foot caves.20-25 feet deep snapper ledge is one exciting place in the reef where you can gaze at the Christ of the Abyss statue. Pillar Rocks is 15-25 ft deep and has the largest pillar coral patches that grow vertically to give a visual treat.

Canoe Escape

Located just 10 minutes from Busch gardens, Canoe Escape believes that a canoe is the ideal place from which one can enjoy the beauty of nature. This one is a trip not to be missed as it is a peaceful ride once you leave your luxurious Florida villa to escape from the buzzing streets to nuzzle with nature and wildlife. Canoe escape offers choices of the trips ranging from 2 hours to a whole day. If you are a first timer it would be a great experience to learn about paddling and the best option would be to take a two hour trip to view the wildlife. Great blue heron white ibis Florida red-bellied turtle alligator and anhinga are the species that are seen for sure. Deer red - winged blackbird belted kingfishers are often seen too. The seasonal birds like the roseatte spoonbill yellow-crowned night heron blue-gray gnatcatcher wood stork are spotted at certain times in the year.

Alligators are said to be predators for humans and highly dangerous but if you are not going to disturb them they are not going to even interfere with you. As you move along the canoe you will be gazing at a dozen alligators that might get into underwater due to the reclusive nature and over the 18 years at Canoe escape which is a cypress swamp, a home for the gators there has been no untoward incident by them. If you are a person who is a little mischievous and can’t resist feeding or teasing the gators then you better stay back at your Florida vacation rental home as Canoe Escape is a place which respects nature and is not pleased with the ideas of those who want to tamper with it.

Had you thought foreclosures were an issue related to the world then read on to know it has affected the United States Astronaut Hall Of Fame too. Initially situated in Melbourne it went to the foreclosures in 1990 and then after many attempts of privatization it came into the hands of NASA who have seen the hurdle off. Now this tourist spot is located in Titusville Florida and you cannot miss it as it is put up just in front of the Kennedy Space center. 

This is one of the must visit places for the space geeks boasting of astronaut memorabilia it’s also the world’s largest. The United States Astronaut Hall Of Fame is really amazing as the design seems to be inspired by the sci fi films giving a dark feel with halogen lights something which all of us can relate to The Star Wars movie. They have also given the perfect finish with the audio clippings of rocket roaring, Nixon and Kennedy speeches, astronaut voices and more space related audios chasing you all over the place.

There are exhibits of Jim Lovell's Boy Scout sash, Buzz Aldrin's high school football jersey, Deke Slayton's Mercury survival knife, goggles and flight gloves of John "MIG Mad Marine" Glenn, Gus Grissom's controversial space suit and more spaceman outfits & accessories.

The Hall of fame have accomplished one of the tough feats by short listing 66 astronauts from around 275 Americans who defied gravity. Situated on a quiet corner it just brushes up your memory if you are a space buff keeping note of the men who made it outside the world alive.

The most exciting part of the United States Astronaut Hall Of Fame is "Astronaut Adventure" where the tourists can take their trip to space by strapping themselves to get a feel of the moon gravity, space shuttle cockpit scheduled for landing and also they have accomplished to get the aroma of the moon. 

The hall of fame is a great place to visit for the space buffs but at time you find some of the programs irritating. If you could sit through Star Wars Movie n times then you would love this place for the rest of the big no to sci-fi audience, relax yourself in your Florida Vacation Home.
