snorkeling day anyone?

You guys kill me.......the guy offers up his secret spot and you want the GPS numbers, you will be lucky if you do not have to hand over your GPS get blind folded and have the boats tethered together.

At least thats how I would would do it :)
 
Oh yea Im going on sunday. So Steve Ill give you a call for the numbers:)

Anyone want to go on sunday give me a shout.
 
lol I didnt think we were going to a secret spot I would never ask for that type of site but really if we are going there the numbers would be revelled at that time just because we would be there. Hmmmm I think im confusing myself I better just stick to steering my boat.
 
Corey, if your only going to use them a few times a year or maybe less, the sporting goods stores usually have kits with mask, snorkel and fins for a decent price. We bought some at Sams a couple years ago to take on cruises with us and they where good quality for for a decent price. Plus they came in a back pack like bag for touting around...Might check out the new Dicks sporting goods at the corner of 41 and cortez in bradenton also. They seem to be running some good sales for the new store...
Woody, don't take us serious we where just having fun. I believe Steve is planning on taking everyone to a spot just South of Point of Rocks in Sarasota. Which is located just south of Crescent Beach at the end of Stickney Point Road..
 
Scottys right, it is a reef South of Point-O -Rocks on South Siesta key. And Yes you can go from shore, it is out about 200 ft or less, and about 3-400 feet South of Point O rocks. There is a nice small reef area in front of the point too. The problem is parking. There is none near there. Probably park at Turtle Beach and walk the 3/4 mile back North to the reef area where the rocky shoreline is. I launch at either 10th street ramp on 41 and 10th st, or out next to Mote marine, Ken Thompson parkway ramp. Either one is maybe 5 miles to the spot. I will bring duct tape to cover everyones eyes so that no one sees how to get there, and will confiscate all GPS units and throw them over. J/K!!!!! Wal-mart is easiest place to get lic. 12 dollars or so. Takes 5 minutes. This weekend is taken up as sandman12 said, I will be in a spearfishing tourney. Maybe next week will be good for a predive meeting, so we can go over captureing techniques and equipment. We could do that at our house, but let me make sure about that. Steve.
 
This sounds awesome. I also have a small (16') boat if needed. I will admit that I am a wimp when it comes to cold water. We went out with the kids last weekend and it was nice at 83 in the bay side. Keep us posted.

I am going to Ambergis Caye off Belize June 9th through the 15th, so that time is out, maybe Sunday the 17th? Maybe this next weekend? Maybe we could meet Saturday at my house and go over stuff, do a little tank critiqueing, and I could go over how to catch fish and shrimp- its not as easy as it looks. I went out diving 40 to 65 miles out in the gulf commercial spearfishing Sunday, saw lots of good aquarium fish, but, I did not have any fish collecting nets, and I had to produce some grouper. But the water out there was about 70 ft vis. And saw no sharks for a change. Let me know about the possible dates. The water nearshore is over 80 degrees now. And clear.
 
I just realized I work Sunday the 17th. So that is out. Sat the 16th may be too hard on us, as we will have just gotten back from Belize the night before. We dont have a June meeting yet, so maybe this Sat. at our house, we could talk about that, then plan a snorkle day. Let me talk to Lynn about that though.
 
Im hosting the June Tampa meeting at my house on 9 June at 2:00 pm

All are welcome co come and meet the guys and gals from the tampa club.
