The caves here in the pristine fresh water of Florida have claimed two more lives. 20 FEB 2001, two open water divers went beyond their training and died in Royal spring. The youngest of the 2 divers 19, had just recieved his open water cert. that morining. The 2 divers entered the silty cave system of Royal Spring, no lines, one light, low on air. They kicked up a lot of silt, got disoriented in the cave (500 feet in) and drowned. It's a shame, but too many divers try to push the limits and go beyond their capabilities. Cave divers from Ginnie springs tried to located them Sunday night, but called off the search, because of poor visibility. The two men were found on Monday morning.
It's terrible it happened. I was just diving Royal Springs on Saturday too.
