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
chart: http://www.frappr.com/?a=viewphoto&id=260879&pid=3995236&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
chart: http://www.frappr.com/?a=viewphoto&id=260879&pid=3995318
Maximum depth along this stretch of the river is about 24
ft.

Didn?t have
sufficient information to localize a site along the Rainbow River:

[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.
29º 38' 37" N
81º 37' 42" W
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.
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 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.
