We finally got back in the water here. Manatee Springs was maxed out on divers with reportedly one class of 27 people?! plus some others. Troy is flooded and closed. And so we ended up at Orange Grove Springs (in the Peacock group) which is the only one up there that OW divers can use. Good visibility: at least 50 feet. There we 12 others there. Two Cave Diving classes and a couple of other people. It kind of inhibited me since I didn't want to kick up a lot of silt and make it hard for them.


I have a new to me Seaquest Pro i3 BCD and I'm having a hard time adjusting to it. That lever either seems to put too much air in or lets too much out. I need more practice with it. I probably looked like an idiot to the other divers.

There may have been a heart attack diver victim. When we were leaving there was a women in a wetsuit standing in the middle of the road. I asked her if she needed some help but she said she was waiting for Paramedics and that one of their party might be having a MI.


Hoping to get in Manatee tomorrow if we can beat the rush.
