Florida Cave Update?

[Sevenrider860]

Hi is Morrsion divable?
Jerry

I was there last week. River was up into the basin and the advisory against high bacteria levels was up. We went to Vortex to get wet instead.

For Morrison I always check this website:

National Weather Service Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service

Below 5 feet usually means good conditions.

Hi Can anyone please up date me what springs are open to dive?
Thanks,Jerry

What area? High Springs / Luraville or the Marianna area. Tourist caves or some lesser known ones?

Went to blue grotto, Ginnie Springs ball room and devils den this weekend...all open, very high water level and lots of divers, but fun just the same. Troy springs was still closed

Maddison, orange grove peacock, and ginnie?

Ginnie is getting back to normal with regards to flow. Conditions are great. Madison, Peacock, Little River, etc are all still blown out. Hopefully not for too much longer though. River levels are heading in the right direction.

Maddison, orange grove peacock, and ginnie?

Out of those Ginnie is the only one.not blown. Manatee is good too but the flow is pretty stout for swimming

Thank you

With the heavy rain in the last few days, both the river and the water levels on the spring side of the tarp at Ginnie have gone up in the week that I've been here. It's causing minor traffic jams in the morning as everyone gears up on the steps because no-one can make touchdown anywhere else.

I'm glad to see that you haven't given up on cave diving. I had around 600 dives with doubles (mostly deco dives including Trimix) before I went the zero to hero cave route and it was the hardest 8 days of life. If I hadn't flown 5000 miles each way to take my course, I would have loved to split it into 2x 4 day couses with a year in between diving the caves in France. Thankfülly right after the course my Instructor and other cave divers took me along for around another 10 days of Cave dives so I could gain experience and become comfortable.
If you spend a while gaining experience in caves you will become a better diver for it
