Cave diving in Florida? Fun!!
(I keep on hearing that Australia is numbe one, but since I've yet to be there.. I'm rating Belize as numero uno..)
Anyhow, the diving in Florida isn't so fab. BUT.. I just discovered this little place.. and when Jeff and Eric come back (big divers, those two!) I think we have a field trip!

Come enjoy Ginnie Springs this Winter. Enjoy our seven crystal-clear, freshwater springs nestled in over 200 wooded acres along the banks of the Santa Fe River in Florida. Each day, the 7 separate springs of Ginnie Springs Outdoors discharge hundreds of millions of gallons of crystal-clear water that is a constant 72 degrees, year round. |

The clear, blue spring water provides a stark contrast to the dark, tannin-stained Santa Fe River. Tall trees (some over 500 years old) provide plenty of shade throughout the property. They provide a beautiful setting for camping, hiking or just plain relaxing. As much as possible, Ginnie Springs Outdoors has left the grounds exactly as they were when the native Timouquan and other tribes used the area for hunting, fishing and extracting flint from the Santa Fe River; leaving the trees, water and animal life much as they appeared to the first European explorers in the early 1500s. |

Cavern and cave diving are not for everyone. Nevertheless, if you are comfortable and relaxed in the water, possess above-average buoyancy control skills and — most importantly — have a genuine interest in exploring natural overhead environments as safely and as conscientiously as possible, then these may be appropriate and enjoyable activities for you.
