This is regarding a tec dive but could be answered by any diver so I hope this is the right section to post this question. I am looking to find a deeper spring in Florida without having to enter a cave system. I cannot reach anyone at 40 Fathom Grotto so please let me know if anyone has any information on them and their website says entry fee is $200, that has got to be a mistake or they are insane. I know Blue Grotto drops to 90 ft and Paradise Springs drops to 100ft and then 140ft into cave. Does anyone know if the cave in the bottom of Paradise Springs is a single shaft or does it have breakoff points? I am a cert cave diver but I do not yet want to combine caves and deco. My reasoning for this thread is to locate a controlled environment in northern or central Florida for a deco dive. I hold a s/m Tec50 cert and am just looking for somewhere with depth @120-160ft max. I am still fairly new to technical diving so I am trying to get my experience in more of a controlled environment with a friend who I always dive with and is also fairly new to tec. I will say this to anyone reading this post that is new to diving or even been diving awhile and wanting to get into tec, take your time and get as much experience as you can!! I have been diving a while and teaching for a year and a half but technical diving is a completely different animal that gave me another whole level of respect for diving and has made be a better diver in every way possible. Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give me!!
