Missdirected:You were out at the Sheridan? I think I am going to cry. I love, love, love, that spot. How much viz do you think you had out there? So it was 64 down at about 70ft?
I was happy to get out yesterday. I desperately needed to get wet. I almost didn't do the second dive but am glad I did. There were less people crowding up the place and I got to goof around some. Diving was followed by lunch with good people; Mark, Eric, Matt, Dave, Johnny and Louis. Definitely a good day. Even GulfCoastDiver came out with his wife, who dives, and her daughter who also dives.
Gregg, I am not a huge fan of the springs, as most everyone knows. I just don't see the allure. I'd rather be seeing the fish/animals out in the big water and taking pics. That said, I always enjoy going out with the people from around here, no matter where it is.
The viz was great....probably 60 feet or better, and yes it was 64 degrees down at 70 ft. Which is extremely cold for me.....still a great dive....my first time at the sheridan.
As far as the springs go, that's what has motivated me to buy all my own stuff....so i would have quality equipment i could count on....i can't wait to be able to run a line into a cave someday.....
That being said, if anyone has a primary or backup reels for sale for a good price let me know. Also anyone familiar with cave and cavern, what strength of line should i be looking at? Also what length should i have for a primary and what length for a backup? Thanks for any advice...and my light for the cavern stuff will be in wednesday...dive rite 10 watt HID slim canister...
