ScubaSixString:Thanks guys
IT was a couple o hours from orlando. Perhaps the attached pic (sorry its drawn from memory (and this was 10 years ago) will help. Supposedly there is a $5000 camera system under the rock that was dropped over the cave entrance (if that urban legend helps id the place.
Dive-aholic:My bad. I missed the part about the entry being blown. I read sock shaped and thought of Orange City Blue Spring right away.
The attached pic looks like Orange City Blue Spring, too, kind of.
Jarrett:I guess at this point, scuba is all about what I can see underwater. If there's nothing to see, then I'm not interested.
Walter:Perhaps you are limiting yourself. For me, vision is merely one sensation. Weightlessness is a major draw to diving as is the feeling of the ocean (or whatever body of water) caressing my entire body. I love the subtle sounds I encounter on dives. I often dive Venice Beach in less than 2 feet of viz. In addition to the other sensations, I see Crabs reaching up to defend themselves, Sea Robins crawling along the bottom, Mantis Shrimp peering from their dens, Flounder blending in with the bottom, Medusa Worms sending out their tentacles, Sand Perch nipping at my beard, Belted Sandfish fliting about, Fighting Conch thumping along, not long ago I saw a huge migration of nudibranchs heading south. Low viz can be wonderful conditions for great dives.

MyDiveLog:I'll dive in most anything, except when the visibility is less than the surge ... found myself ramming into too many urchins and reefs when that happens. If the visibility is less than a couple feet then it's probably not worth the hassle.
What about you, do you have limits on what you will dive?
