Hi All:
Just got back from Florida yesterday, spent a few days in the spring country around Lake City. I hooked up with Bill McDermott from Outerbanks Dive Center, along with a few of his instructors and DMs. They were taking an OW class to the springs for cert dives and Bill was also teaching an NSS-CDS Cavern Class. I did some dives and sat in on the Cavern Class (good review) and overall had a GREAT time. We did Orange Grove the first day, followed by Troy Springs and Madison Blue on the next two days. OBXDiveGuy from this board was also on the trip. They were a excellent bunch of guys and I learned a lot from them. Some pics are below, your's truly is on the left in the water at Orange with the grin on my face...
ENJOY!
Orange Grove sink, gotta LOVE the duck weed (tastes GREAT too!):
Troy Springs, with the Open Water class followed by air fills at Bill's in Lauraville (check out that setup, including in truck fills):
Madison Blue with the awesome "giant stride" platform just for thrills:
The guy that makes it happen:
Hope you guys liked the pics as much as I did the diving...
