St Petersburg FL, diving

Is there any decent diving in the St. Petes/Tampa for looking at some
reefs... If so any recomends
If possible i'd like to get a couple of dives in between Jan 18- 25.
Water very cold on the bay side? Visibility?

The reefs off the gulf coast of Florida aree pretty lame. Generally
ledges with minimal coral growth. Also long boat rides to anything
remotely decent.

Best bet is to take SR60 East from Tampa to the Atlantic coast (Jupiter
would be the nearest best bet for reef). The drive time is about the
same as the boat time from St. Pete (2-3 hours).

Current Temp of the gulf is low 60's. No idea about visability.
