Hey Trina and anyone else, we are headed to Blue Grotto and or Devils Den this sunday. Let me know if you want to partake, we will meet up there around 10:30a. I can let you which one we do or first if you wish.
Rick,
As far as inland goes, there is Blue Grotto, Devils Den and Paradise Springs. All fresh water and 72 degrees. You can also dive the aquarium in Tampa if you ask them.
For west coat dives, we go to to Sarasota and use a shop called Sea Kat, he has a boat and takes us to some nice tugs, reefs and actual wrecks. There are 2 shore dives where his shop is, The Regina, and Spanish Rocks. The Regina is a an old sugar barge about 75yds out from the beach and about 20’ deep. Nice time if vis is good. Spanish Rocks is a little north of that and about 100yd swim but a nice reef.
We dove 7 mile reef which is made from the old bridge debris, it was nice. Another good site by boat is the tanks, about 65’ and worth the view.
