    that's the plan, pop in friedmans, swim upstream, then coast down stream and pop out at catfish.

    Entered Friedman's and went upstream - with some difficulty - about 300' ...it took rock pulling to get us there! Turned and 25 minutes later drift dive put us in Catfish Sink. With no manatees in the Manatee Spring we did the last traverse from Catfish to Manatee Spring. The last exit of course blew us out. Vis was OK ...certainly not great ...20'-30' . Dive was late morning and don't know how tide may have influenced conditions.
