Mid April conditions for Sarasota, Venice ?

[CREEVES515]

Im going on a Fishing trip to Sarasota with some friends from work and would like to get in some diving while I'm there. Could anyone let me know what I Might expect in terms of water temp vis etc.,(mid April). Any info on dive sites would be helpful as well.

water temp in the 70's, typical vis for Venice Beach area is 5'-10'.. some days are an out of sight 25', others 3"... hit or miss.

I'm looking at mid-april as being my hoppin back in the water after 6 months off for surgery dive up there

cbulla, there's gonna be a few divers up there on March 19th, I'm gonna try to get up there if the weather forecast is good for the day. The reduced viz doesn't bother me as much as the wicked surf they get up there at times.
