Sun Nov 18th Spanish Rock's & Sugar Barge

[Scuba Crab]

Hey who is watching the pups? If your wife and daughter are in town, you should see if they are interested in hanging on the beach, Anna Maria is pretty. Just a thought

As I said, Scott and I are going to do a dive at Spanish Rocks then hang-out and wait for everyone else to finish at the Sugar Barge and get over to Spanish Rocks.

Crab - lunch okay after the second dive on Spanish Rocks whenever that happens to be?

Barbara, welcome to the board. Your going to love this place and its people.

Hey Miss D

Thank you for offering to wait for people at Spanish Rocks. We will catch up with you all after we dive the Sugar Barge.

Lunch whenever we get done diving sound's good to me. I like Barbara's recomendation of the Cafe on the Beach!

Hello,
I have never dove either of those and would be interested in joining. I don't have a dive buddy, anyone care to partner with me?

Hi Karen:

Welcome to Scubaboard & Conch Divers, unfortunately I'm not diving this weekend, but I'm sure we'll meet at some time in the future. Enjoy Spanish Rocks, it's one of my favorite shore dives in this area.

Mote got her twice, lol. Maybe we should make him a greeter :14:

Link for Spanish Rocks, in case any want to print at home: Google Maps

Just before the curve to the left there is a beach access and parking. That is where you want to be. It is a small sand lot between some houses and apartments. Just pull in there and park. Gear up walk down the beach...

There you go. Give him the official position!!!!! Greet away Mote.

I already have one official position "supreme yak diver in charge" and its a mighty burden. I think we'll stop there.

Doug,
I found these directions on another thread about the rocks, maybe this will help us find them:
When you walk out of the parking lot onto the beach, go left. Walk until you get to the 6th house. It will be a square looking house with a bunch of windows. That should be your starting point. From there, just swim directly out. It is about 125yds out depending on the tide. When you are on the top of the water, you will be able to look down and see the darkness of the reef. It is about 20ft down.

Good luck.
