Good idea. But really, most of the divers never knew I was there.For Halloween and April Fool's do you hang out there just to scare the crap out of other divers?

I've seen it many times. I think the entrance is around 10-15' deep. Teenagers with snorkels, masks, and fins often swim down, in one entrance and out the other. I'd bet it happens 50 times a day.People have talked about being in there and seeing free divers. Which seems nuts.
I haven't been there in a long time(30+ years), but as I recall there is a grate at the bottom so you can't enter the caves. The video is also deceptive in that the the super wide angle makes it look like you are way far in. As I recall, you can see the entry from the grate. When I was there we were told that lights were not permitted (although that may have only applied to the portions of the spring where you can access the cave system. I was there with a assistant instructor course and I believe we let the OW divers in also.
At the time I thought it was a fun dive, at no time were you out of sight of the entrance.
Does that instructor make a habit of taking divers into the cave with OW gear?IIRC, the Scuba Nation guys got cavern certified before they filmed. They were also back in May for cave training, I was there.
