Florida Natural Springs Diving

[Scubastud16]

Hey, buddy. I've not heard of Blue Hole. A place where you can get arrested is Blue Springs State Park in Volusia County. Is that what you are mentioning?

Thanks / Stu

Yes, that's what he meant.

 

[Stu S.]

Thanks.

What's your training level? If you're cavern trained, that can open up a lot more sites. Or you can always stop for a couple of days and get cavern training...

Okay, how do you know this? Tell us the story, please.

First hand knowledge of getting arrested for it :11:

 

[flash]

I do plan to get cavern certified this year, but I'm still working on it...

Try Manatee springs state park if you want natural, real Florida spring diving. It's cheap too. Here are some pictures.

Those are some very nice pictures. 46-1 I think is the best.

Flash, you going to have a buddy along? Dive boats may be able to pair you with someone, or provide a guide. A few privately-owned springs may be able to provide a guide. State parks require you to have a buddy, or you don't go.
