Here is what I found with the marvel of
satellite imagery, Internet search and uploading, and Garmin charting
software. Unfortunately Frappr doesn’t allow high resolution images,
anyone interested in higher resolution images please contact me off line. Both Palatka’s and Blackwater’s
maximum depth occurs in areas where the river narrows so both current and
boating traffic will probably be an issue Palatka: (29.64361° -81.62833°) http://www.frappr.com/?a=viewphoto&id=260879&pid=3994230&myphotos=1

There is a maximum of 40 ft. of water about a mile from the bridge (south) off
of Devil’s Elbow. Blackwater: (29.16611° -81.52278°) http://www.frappr.com/?a=viewphoto&id=260879&pid=3994201

Maximum depth along this stretch of the river is about 24 ft. Depth information not available for Devil’s

to localize a site along the Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a
thought without accepting it. From: Jay, 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. 29º 38' 37" N 81º 37' 42" W 2. Blackwater... It's midway between 29º 09'58" N 81º 31'22" W 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. 29º 24' 13" N 82º 28' 35" W Theres also always 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. |
