Springs this week, anyone?

[Upwelling]

hello,
I'm new to the area (haven't dived in this part of Fla. yet) and would like to check out the springs--I know little about them although Blue Grotto might be a good choice from what I've read so far (but I that's not set in stone . I could go this weekend or potentially Thurs. or Fri, even. Anyone interested?

Next week Feb. 1st and Feb. 2nd a few of us will be doing Buford spring (Friday), and Hudson Grotto (Saturday). But I can't do anything this weekend.

You also may want to come to this http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/gr...anuary-25th-mandatory-greater-tampa-area.html to get to know some of us local Tampa area divers.

If you want to hit a spring on Saturday I'm up for it. Come on over for the get together Friday too.

thanks everyone--EANDiver that sounds good if you're up to it--I'll send you a PM. (I'd prefer to go this weekend since weather forecast seems to be good.)

The happy hour idea sounds good as well--I'll try to make it. Is this very informal or do I need to RSVP on this board if I can't make it for some reason (unlikely)?

It's as informal as can be. A couple of us will be there by 5:30 and the rest ( slackers ) will show up at 7.

Excellent day today. Cloudy with rain, high 40's, lower 50's for air, a warm 72 for the water and you in a 5 mil in the water for 2 hours straight.

Hudson Grotto next Saturday will be a breeze compared to today, right?

Thanks John, enjoyed the dives today.

Mark-
at least the sleet failed to materialize
I had a great time! Thanks again for everything. Amazing to have such visibility in a freshwater environment (despite my best silting "efforts")
I'm definitely interested in going to Hudson.

What time is the Grotto on Saturday ?

Jean,

I am not sure but I think I may have met you in Luraville in October, and again in November. If that was not you, I apologize. I will be back at Luraville doing full cave cert from Feb 29 to March 9. Looking forward to it. Do you plan to be in the area then? Maybe we can do cow spring on a night dive?
