no worries. it seems like this trip may fizzle. Im down for doing the springs and crystal river. I may be geographically off, but I think Ginnie Springs, Devils Den, and Crystal river are all close enough that we could spend a week down there at our leisure and dive all three areas. my buddy on the other hand, he wants reefs, reefs, reefs. I dont blame him, I want reefs too, but Im willing to make a sacrifice in order to A) get wet, and B) have an actual dive vacation, such that it is. the biggest reason we want shore dives is because he doesnt do boats very well. of course he wont take my advice and medicate himself like your supposed to. i kind of like it when he chums. it brings fish to the dive boat...lol
