Shore snorkeling in Jacksonville, FL
I'm in Central Florida.
Also I closed the store at the end of last January.
It's just too hard to run an honest store while
trying to compete with stores that are making 3
times the sales by telling the customers anything
and everything to make a sale.
It's getting that way in so many industries. Truth
in advertising just does not count for anything anymore.
And so many companies across all industries that
used to stand for quality, are no longer making
quality products.
I have changed the nature of my business to aquarium
consulting, and maintenance.

Any places in the city itself worth seeing?
Something like a spectacular aquarium/fish stores? :-)
Not really. The visibility is fairly poor and you need to go 8-10 miles
off shore for any artificial reefs and those are usually in 60-80 feet
of water with visibility much less then 50 ft.
AquaZoo is my usual marine fish store. The one on Beach Blvd has a nice
selection, but they are also the ones that sold me an ritteri anemone
with 2-days of experience. However, I like to go in there and look at
their tanks.
No public aquarium. Also, watch yourself, there are some rough areas of
town where flying lead and innocent victims/bystanders seem to be the
norm, but anywhere on the beaches is good. The Jacksonville Landing
also has a nice river/downtown atmosphere. If you make it up to
Fernandina Beach, let me know. It's about 50 minutes from downtown Jax.
