It sounds good to me. I have to see when my Advanced Class is rescheduled for. If they don't schedule it for the 19th we can try it then. It is a Saturday. We can do the Bradenton beach dives and then hit this great pizza place down there named Demetrios. They have some killer food!!!!! Let me know what you think and I will check on the class.

I am interested in a brandenton beach dive (never been) tell me more about the dive site :blinking:

Well I am thinkin of the Spanish Rocks. It's at the north end of Anna Maria Island. Easy beach access. Two sets of rocks. The first one is at 75 yards out and the second is at 125 yards out. The rocks stand about 5 feet off the sandy bottom. There was quite a bit of life around it last time I was there. That is where I got to swim with a large sea turtle. There is coral and other life there as well. It's not the prettiest but it is there to checkout. Max depth is only about 22 feet so you can stay down for a long time. It is a really enjoyable dive. Definately good for getting some of these newer divers more comfortable in the water. In my humble opinion anyway

I'm interested, too. Sounds like a great place for a newbie like me and I can get to know some Tampa area divers. Let me know what the plans are.
