Celia, the last time I was at Manatee the flow was down slightly, with vis about 40'. Partly cloudy, temperatures in the 80s. But that was about four years ago.

Ask me about Jackson Blue and I can be more helpful.

LOL, I know what Jackson is like...<G>

But we want to do Manatee, I have not dived there since I was diving OC, about a year and a half ago...

I just got the new map and would like to correlate where I've been to the new map...

Thanks for the "report"...how's Ginnie doing? You should post a couple of new pic's of her...

Dive safe,

I was there about a week ago. Had a nice dive Upstream and down from Catfish. We had a student with us so we did nothing major. Flow was normal, as was viz about 30/40 ft. . Spoke to another diver who did a dive from Friedmans' and he reported the same all the way.

Manatee Today

Tracy & I & Jeano Beano were in Manatee today. Entered at Friedman's. Tracy & I had never entered there before - Jeano was our guide through the wilderness.

Upstream for about 300 feet, then downstream through Catfish to exit the headspring. Vis & flow the usual for Manatee, 30 - 40 feet of vis, quite a bit of particulate in the water. A very nice dive. Thanks Jean!

Thanks!!!
That is what we needed to know. Hopefully we'll get there on time to dive before it gets full.

Dive safe,
