Cavern dives

[Backwoodsdiver]

Which of the FL springs have the best cavern dives? I've done Ginnie, Madison Blue, and Alexander Springs. They were all good but I'm looking to try something different.

Thanks,
Randy

Are you cavern certified or doing OW safe caverns?

If youre certified, Id say Peacock, Orange Grove, Madison Blue.

I am cavern certified. Thanks for the responses so far.

Morrison is still my favorite cavern - but I've only been in some of the "OW safe caverns"(Vortex, Morrison, Cypress, Ginnie, Blue Grotto, and Devils Den).

I like Paradise Springs about the best. I absolutely loved the cavern section of Upper Orange Grove but it was way too tempting to keep on swimming further in. The Ballroom at Ginnie has some really cool swimthroughs, some resident catfish, and a lot of area to play & practice in. Give me a shout if you are in the area & want to dive Alexander Springs again, I am about 30 minutes away.

yup... basically what everybody has said:

1. Paradise Springs
2. Peacock
3. Orange Grove Sink (at Peacock)
4. Blue Spring
5. Manatee Spring (Catfish Hotel)
6. Devil's Ear
7. Devils Eye (not as good as the rest)
