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

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.
