Narrative:

I administered a private pilot evaluate at craig airport; jacksonville; fl. During the ground briefing the applicant stated that there was a tfr around navy jacksonville and I informed him that I was also aware of that fact and that we would not and should not go into that area. We began our flight by simulating a cross country down to orlando; fl; which we would simulate for approximately 20 mins. I then gave the applicant a 'diversion' to an airport located at folkston; GA. That turned us back going to the nnw. The applicant gave the proper data for the diversion and headed in that direction which we would simulate for approximately 15-20 mins. We flew at 6500 ft and the applicant stated we were well above any class C or D airspace which was in the jacksonville area. I agreed with him. You can probably guess what took place during the diversion. Yes; the flight path took us to the right of navy jacksonville; but not far enough right. We entered into their tfr airspace. In truth he; nor I; ever realized that we had entered into the tfr. It was only upon landing when we were told to contact jacksonville approach by telephone that we knew something was amiss. After we shut the engine down and I looked at the VFR sectional I realized our flight probably had taken us over NAS jacksonville and into the tfr.
