Is anyone getting wet this weekend?

We are pondering heading to Blue Heron Bridge, or Pompano.

Does anyone know of any boat dives locally going on?
 
I am staying close to home this weekend. Have a Superbowl party to go to on Sunday.
With the gulf temps so low Im not sure I want to get offshore in the gulf on Saturday.
 
I just got my new BP/Wing in. Now I MUST dive SOMETHING on Saturday. I may do Hudson Grotto, Weeki Wachee, or a spring in the woods.
 
From what I understand Weeki Wachee is closed to divers. They could have opened it back up but they were doing renovations.
 
Im sorry, I didnt clarify WHERE on the Wacki Weeki. I was thinking more like Hospital Hole or another spot down river. I wouldnt do the spring again unless I was dragged there by a VERY HOT mermaid! LOL!
 
Be careful diving Catfish Hotel. There is a cave on one side were the water enters the pond and a cave where the water exits toward the Manatee Spring (opposite sides of the pond). Sometimes, depending on how much water is going through, you can encounter a current pulling you into the exit cave.
When I dove these springs some time ago, I looked over and noticed a minnow just swimming as hard as he could but wasnt going anywhere. That is when I noticed I was being pulled into the cave. It was barely noticeable but something you dont want to be unprepared for!
 
Got up early (6am) and starting loading the tanks. When I saw a frost onthe windshield of the truck I did a u-turn, and dropped the tanks back in the closet.

5 minutes later I was dreaming of Cozumel.
