George,
Thanks!
I?ll look at these tonight. Devil?s Den/Blue Grotto would probably be
the ideal site with the best visibility and side swimming for other family
members that attend. The St.
John?s current and I believe tannic water would be my
second choice. Tampa
Bay has poor visibility from previous
dive experience there and Lake Okeechobee
visibility is nil (not great depth especially if the level is
down).
A barge
with a derrick and all the subs aboard off of Boynton Beach would be ideal?all we would
have to worry about is towing the boats back south after being carried away by
the current. J

It is the
mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting
it.

[PSUBS-MAILIST] Scouted Spots
I scouted a couple of
spots, and here they are and why I think they might
do.
1. Palatka. True, it's
kind of a ..uh ... well, "Quaint" BUT interesting and open area to put in and
possibly a good dive site just north of the put
in.
2. Blackwater... It's
midway between Ocala and Daytonna, on the
St. Johns.
Min/Moderate current to contend with.. two sites north and south of the put
in.
3. Devil's Den/Blue
Grotto: Blue water, good diving. True it's got an overhead environment as well
as an open water environment, but if the subs stay away from the overhead
everything should be ok.
Theres also always
tampa bay.. (I
have no coordinates for that)
Or Lake OkeeChobee, though
I wasn't able to get down there to dive, uh scout, how that looks or really
see what kind of places you can put in at.
