Hi, I just finished the NAUI certification class last weekend at Bill Jackson's. I did the 5 certification dives with them and I would like to dive somewhere this weekend. I've got a buddy who is an experienced diver, but he hasn't dove much in this area (west central Florida, Clearwater/St Pete/Tampa). Can you guys make any recommendations for a first easy dive for me? I was thinking of going tomorrow so I'm guessing getting a seat on a boat is probably unreasonable, and I'm wondering if gulf visibility is still a problem from the storm anyway.

We did Rainbow River/KP Hole in class, as well as Blue Grotto. I could go back to rainbow, that would be fun - but I'd prefer to see something new. I don't think I'd want to dive Blue Grotto again, it was a good experience but there wasn't a whole lot to see.
