Expect 1-2 vis on Saturday at Venice. Water was stirred up by the storm

Maybe I'll just wait. It's kind of late now, anyways. May just get on a charter next week.

Hey,

I'm heading over to Clearwater this Sunday for a job interview on Monday. If I relocate, I have to be able to dive . I've been looking around the net and it seems like the Clearwater area might have some nice diving. Is this true? How do you locals like the diving in the Clearwater/Tampa area? What are the avg conditions, H20 temp, visibility? Thanks for the tips.

Right now temp is about 82. A lovely algae has settled in some areas. A few went out last week, I think, on Frogmans boat, they could see to the bottom from the boat. IMO diving is okay around here. I like it best a bit further south about three hours from Tampa. Look at some of the more recent dive reports on this thread. Especially "Running with the Bulls"!

Coming from CA, our average winter water temp is probably about your average summer temp! Warm as 90 in the summer to as cold as 50 in the winter. Vis varies widely, depending on weather, time of year, algae blooms, etc. I had some fantastic dives in the gulf, and some that were not so spectacular. But hey, you want perfect every time? Dive in a fish bowl!

Miss, I heard you have something to show us all.
While I was at the LDS picking up my mask and weights they said you had been in recently. So, we started talking and guess what they told me. I WANT TO SEE THOSE TOES. LOL I heard they are really cute and you had pictures on the net. Well you know I rushed home just to search for them and I have found NOTHING. I want to see the pics. PLEASE SHARE :lol:

Ok... What happen to everybody? Are we not speaking and someone forgot to tell me?

Hahahha, just noticed the toes post was from the other day. *Miss looking down at toes speaking quietly* I was in the shop again today. Had to make sure they didn't miss me :0) Was in both of "my" shops today actually.

NVM on that gallery photo guess it is still down.
