I do a lot of dives in the Florida springs. As an experienced diver Ginnie gets my attention and respect. When you are down at the grate and look back, the exit hole looks like it’s about an inch in diameter. It makes you really trust your equipment. I wouldn’t recommend this dive until you get more dive experience. You had mentioned Blue Springs, 2 things about this dive. It can be challenging - it can be dark, heavy flow of water, some trees to get around, but, you mentioned you’ll be down in March. Typically, the manatees stay in there until about mid March and they won’t let divers in with them. A great place for you to dive would be Alexander Springs in the Ocala National Forrest. About 28’ deep, nice and clear, pretty park. I agree that Devil’s Den would be another good one.
Oh, by the way, the springs are 72 degrees year round. 3mm wet suit is OK.
