    I don't want to call you a liar, but you'd have to AVERAGE 80mph. You can do that on US19/98, but I'm not sure I want to see you doing 80 on SR320!

    You can easily do 90 on 98.
    SR320 in only about 5 miles of the trip and until you get to the end right before the park where they are doing work it is actually pretty smooth.

    The ticket for 90mph on those roads would pay for a trimix fill... I think I'll stick to CEE for gas at manatee...

    Don't know... Everytime I have been there he fills to around 3k. Admittedly I have only been there three times (2900/3100/3100) and never asked for a better fill.

    I try to have a fill before I head out and only get fills if I forgot, or was doing another dive. But he is on the way from Tampa.

    Calling my sad little Blazer a "truck" is a stretch. But it'll take it as a compliment.

    Well if you are running late and want to get a dive in before they will not let you in.... You sometimes have to run.

    I looked at Birds website trying to find hours but they werent listed. I did see the first and reccommended tour goes out at 615 so I figured they would be open.
    At 830 this Sunday I arrived and they were closed.
    There was a guy (That I know works there) on their boat smoking and he said they didnt open till 9.

    None the less Fred had a set of tanks for me so I went on. When I arrived at Manatee I saw a business card for some dive shop in old town. They only had one card so I didnt want to take the last one but it seemed closer then Crystal river.

    Nothing against Bird's, but CEE is just over half as far (32 miles versus 53, according to MapQuest).
