Dont forget about venice, nothing to see, but if the winds are right it oculd be a fun day of searching.

I'm 180lbs and with no WS I use 6lbs in salt. If the dive is shallow (under 30ft) I will add another 4lbs to help keep me down, but 30lbs - crap thats a lot! I dive with aluminum tanks also - not steals, that will make a weight difference.

Can anyone recommend type of pole spear for the Tampa area? I borrowed a 5ft pole spear with a single bard to hunt out by the orange tug this past weekend. Loved it and want to do more of it - so - I did not know if a 7ft would be better and what tips I should be using. Any help would be...

Based on the weather patterns, most likely not very good tomorrow. A couple of us are going up to Blue Grotto or Devils Den since the winds are from the west and it is calling for thunder storms.

Water temp is in the mid to upper 80's. I was very comfortable with only a rash guard. Thanks for the additional information finding the site - it makes much more sense now.

Based on your dive plan we were at the wrong locaiton. The information above makes it seem like it is the beach access immediately before the first curve to the left on Guld Drive. Your map shows Spanish Rocks before the second curve to the left. Is this correct?

I went to find the Spanish rocks on Saturday, went six houses south of the parking lot. Went straight out past the maker bouys, but could not find them. Are they further out away from the beach? It excapes me how we could not find them. Please help with a little more direction on how far out we...

Welkom.

Plans have changed a little, I will be there earlier? The visibility might be better? I was thinking 8ish.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice.

I was told to buy Kevlar gloves to go Lobstering, but there are a number of specifications to pick from. Can anyone recommend a particular style/thickness for lobstering here in FL?

very cool, see you then

To find the bardge, enter the water south of the ramp about 20yrds and go directly west until you are inline with the far west bouy line. It will be right below you. Also Seatrek has a map of the ship that you can buy (safe to get wet). If you can not find it I would do a search grid starting...

I'll be at spanish rocks on saturday. The weather is calling for east winds so we should have good visability in the morning. I was at the sugar bardge last weekend, 20ft of vis. good east winds. The boiler was covered by sand but we found all of the other main parts. simple easy dive. very...

Artisikat was my first dive charter. They are wonderful, very friendly and they drop you in the perfect spots. The charter I was one two weeks ago we found more than 15 teeth over 5in. VERY cool!

I have to completely agree with the third pier - not much to see. If it is your very first salt water dive it would be a easy and safe dive to do. Not much to disrupt or hurt.

I wear a 3mm during the winter months in FL. Rash guard and board shorts during during the summer. Depends on how you react to the cold.

Bradenton Beach has the sugar barge and the third pier. Easy shore dives (cheap). Venice beach - shark tooth hunting. There are many charters in the area that know this area very well. Check out http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/greater-tampa-bay-area/ there is alot of information about...
