I know, just yanking your chain. Lake Denton is ok for training and prep, I'd much rather head to a state park though.

When I work on something it's too tempting for me.
I want to go in the holes before I should. This way I won't till I know I'm ready. I can pick Ricks brain as to what he thinks too. He can watch me and give criteaks. How it looked, and what I should change or try differant. He knows I won't do anything stupid.

Where exactly is Lake Denton? I live outside of Deland, which is kinda between Daytona & Orlando. Thanks.
Lk Denton is just south of Avon Park, Hardee County (?), its about 55 miles south of I-4 along US-27. Its a good way from where you are, its far enough from Orlando and Zephyrhills too!! It gets really crowded on saturday and sunday mornings with classes going to do checkouts, we went in the late afternoon, only one jetskier to annoy us at that time.

Would it be worth the drive? I like just about any type of diving.

How far of a drive would it be for you? If you really like to dive and need to work on your skills and such it's not a bad place, considering it's free, but I definitely wouldn't pay to go.

Its about 60 mins south of I-4 and US-27 is about 20-30 mins southwest of Orlando, i think Deland is about 30 mins north of Orlando, so i would guess somewhere around 2 hours drive - do a mapquest to avon park and add about 5-10 mins to get to the lake from the middle of town.
I say the same things about Blue Springs, its only 40 mins up the road, and we have the pass now, we must use it. If we dont get out this weekend with our AOW instructor at Denton (if he is still going to Boynton), then we are thinking of hitting Blue and seeing what we can do with our new gear to get things trimmed up etc, plus play with new computers too. Will post a trip on thursday or friday if we decide what is going on.

It sounds like a solid 2 hours from me. But hey, it takes almost that long to get to Paradise Springs. What kind of depths, visibility bottom contour, etc.? Sounds like it might be worth the trip, if only once just to check it out. Thanks for all the info so far.
