Anyone want to practice skills this Friday in Pasco County??

This is a longshot, but is there any one in the Tampa Bay area that wants to hook up this Friday at the Hudson Grotto, just to practice skills such as buoyancy control. This grotto is a really good, controlled environment for those looking to gain additional confidence. There are platforms at 22 ft, 44 ft, and 60'. It goes deeper than 60', I believe to 110', but I am not looking to go below 60'. The grotto is owned by a LDS in Hudson, so we'd need to pay the fee and sign a waiver.

Hudson is just north of New Port Richey, off of U.S. 19. I know it doesn't sound like anything too exciting, but remember, this type of practice will make you a better and safer diver.

How about Sat? My gf would probably want to go.

Unfortunately, got a full slate this Saturday. Usually Saturdays are pretty good for me, so let me know if you and your girlfriend want to dive some other weekend. My wife is doing her pool sessions this Saturday, so I am going to go with her and be her buddy.

TampaScott,

I live cloe to the Grotto. Once I finish purchasing all my gear (hopefully in a few months), it would be great to have buddy to practice my skills with. I'm new and still working out the kinks.

I will be in Hudson next weekend! My sister is having a baby shower, and if I can sneak my gear past them, I might be able to get down to the Grotto.

Anyway, I am in Hudson quite a bit, since my family lives in Holiday and Hudson. Maybe we can get together one day and dive while I am there.
