    Central Florida Springs Memorial Day Weekend

    Devil's den can have a pretty long line waiting to get in, so if it's packed, you might need to time your entry. If you're in South FL, are you just sick of going Blue Heron?

    Changes/effects

    [-]Did an update change the way the top level of the forum works? It used to display all sections if I went there, but now it's a "forum home" that doesn't have the forums. Or am I in the wrong place?[/-] This appears to have been resolved, don't know if it was a redirect issue at the server or...

    Looking to dive this weekend 1/17/15

    Dove Ginnie Springs on Saturday and hit Devil's Den on Sunday. These were dives 11-13 for me - started with about 8 hours bottom time. I did all right at Ginnie Springs, I'm not so sure that I was ready for a cavern even if it was the ballroom. I didn't hit my head or kick up too much silt...

    Looking to dive this weekend 1/17/15

    Thanks! I think we've opted to go to Ginnie Springs on Sat and then maybe blue grotto or devils den on Sunday. Maybe both if we can swing it.

    Looking to dive this weekend 1/17/15

    So it's a three day weekend and I was looking to maybe travel somewhere in FL and do some diving. I'm in Orlando. My go-to is BHB, but the tide charts look like sat/sun will be 4 low-light dives. What are some other good spots for this time of year that I could on air? My next guess was either...

    Alert: Nws using holiday season to sneak through new manatee swim restrictions

    I'm all about allowing the manatees safe harbor and not scaring them with bubbles, but the proposed map shows that by increasing the density of swimmers and divers to the light blue area will lead to more injuries as well as raise the potential for environmental damage by swimmers/divers because...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Why harass the animals? You make them more skittish for the rest of us that just want to observe. Not to mention, that's how gloves get banned from dive sites. :facepalm:

    Blue Springs - Winter Manatees

    Does anyone know if there's a way to check if Blue Springs is closed for diving because of manatees, aside from trying to call the park? Thanks!

    Blue Springs?

    Dove it a couple weeks ago, only saw two other divers, I was there when the gates opened. The park was full by the time we left, probably 10:30am. There's a pretty long hike from the parking lot to the dive point. I had trouble getting down into the spring because of the current.

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Dove Saturday and went west under the pedestrian bridge. Saw a scorpion fish and some brown things that looked like nudibranches, but I wasn't sure. Oh also spotted about 1,000 jellyfish, mostly by them slamming into my face and hands.

    Trouble with Mask Adjustment Straps

    Hi All, So I have an Aqualung Ventura+ mask, but when I adjust it to fit it either has way too much extra strap dangling or the cinch that holds the strap backs off and creates a loop: Normally, this doesn't affect the ratchet that ensures the mask stays snug, but it does sometime come into...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    We dived this site for the first time July 26/27, pretty amazing. Looking forward to going back, all I managed to see were a few starfish and a couple sea robins (excluding the larger fish).
