Wow, I really need to keep up with my log book
Anyway Buckeye - it is going to be cold in the Gulf. Hoods, gloves, 7mm are highly recommended.
If u want to charter, and go see some really good stuff, go with "Capt. Ty". You can pm him here on the board. Alternately, personally I would not recommend Red Rocks. However, Spanish Rocks at Anna Maria Island is a good shore dive. Depending on how long u are here u may want to do Venice Beach. You are not going to find any substantial life there but you will find loads of sharks teeth, if u hit the right spots.
As for the springs, I am far from the authority on those as I only go every now and again to hang out with friends. So I will let someone else chime in on those.
