I am looking for a dive on the West Coast for this weekend. Are there any charters that go out of the Tampa Area? better yet, Is the Gulf worth diving? If I have to, I'll do a fresh water dive at Blue Springs but would like a salt water dive if possible. Any reply's are welcome.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report. 5 to 7 feet isn't bad at all (If your on an Aircraft carrier) looks like it's gonna be a fresh water dive.
 
FWIW take a look at what's coming in from the gulf as we speak at 8:47pm....
