I've been watching too, although I think most of the people that normally post Venice conditions have been at the other SB events. There used to be a monthly sticky. Mods, is there any chance of resurrecting that? Colin? Jenny?
I'm in Orlando and rely on the trends people post to make the go/nogo decision. In the winter its easier 'cause you can always head over to the Peace river as an alternate.
The vis I've heard reported the last week or so is 5+/- so if the winds have been favorable I'd say go for it, particularly if you have a yak and can get further out on an incoming tide. I'd like to go this weekend but I'm babysitting a rescue pup that likes to chew (he put a hole in a leather couch night before last, doh!) Wife won't be home so I'm stuck. He's a Catahoula - great dog, just not disciplined/trained yet. I hope he's going to be my boat dog as the other two are terrified of being out on the water.
Good luck and post a dive report.
