Howards Beach - Tarpon Springs

[Boats]

I've heard mixed things about the causway being open to the beach area on the island. Does anyone know if the diving is now available there?

A friend of mine in Tarpon, says she can see cranes out there still. I'm not sure if this means the bridge is still closed, or they just havn't moved them out of the park.

I'd love to sneak a dive in there before the water gets into the 60's.

Thanks everyone!
