Im thinkin Reef or Mote Man are the most knowledgeble about Spanish Rocks. If they dont reply to this message you may want to PM them and ask.
If I could get the time off I would come down and DM for you but I can't.
As much as I'd love to guide y'all at Spanish Rocks, I just started a new job with NMFS, and my trip schedule is sometimes on short notice making long range plans difficult. When it gets closer to your dive date, send me a PM.

Is Scuba Quest on Manatee Ave the place to rent tanks?
This place is a bit closer. I was just in that area and had them do fills. I did not rent anything.

I see there is a shipwreck called the SS Regina just off the beach in front of seateckdivers. is this dive worth doing?
The sugar barge aka "regina" is worth doing once, althouth there isn't much left to see. What is above the sand varies from year to year and season to season, but generally there a couple of chunks of steel (old boilers I think) about the size of a VW visible. They do tend to attract a variety of fish and inverts.

I'd love to play tour guide, but Wednesdays are bad.
When you do go out make sure you head for the second set of rocks. Hopefully some of brown algae that collected over the winter is starting to disappear.
Have fun, and be careful. A dive flag is a MUST there.

I personally like the sugar barge becasue of its history, but there is not much to see.
One person died on that wreck.
I normally use SeaTrek to get fills when I am down there.
