Any info on January diving, Tampa area?

[stevenkimbell]

I am going to be visiting one of my company's projects in Tampa. I will probably be there about January or February. My reading tells me the temps will be in the low 60s (hope it's no colder). WHat about vis? How are weather conditions? I like cheap diving so will be most interested in shore dives. Any info appreciated.

Jan and Feb are usually pretty dry months, expect air temps from 40° - 70°. Shore dive viz from 0 - 6ft, gulf water temps 58°-65°. Springs and sinks 68°-72°, viz can exceed 100ft.
