WaterDawg and I dove Ginnie Springs Saturday afternoon. There was alot of classes taking place as well as alot of Spring Break eyecandy( 
) so the basin was pretty crowded. The water was clear all the way up to the river, but there was particle suspended in it from all the traffic. The usual fish were there(bream, bass, mullet, catfish) as well as slider turtles and one huge, basketball sized, aligator snapper. We had a good time exploring the ballroom and found a few catfish hiding away in different crevices. We explored the basin and swam up and down the spring run for some extra bottomtime before getting back to the car. After we geared down to drive to the Devils system parking lot, WaterDawg realized he had locked the keys in the trunk-D'Oh! All was saved when some bikers and a caver parked next to us(turned out to be hoopty from TDS) helped us break into the car - no biggy, just an extended SI. We explored the spring run for the Little Devil, Devils Eye, and Devils Ear as well as explored as far as ambient light would allow us(not far). I saw more of the same fish as well as some carp, freshwater flounder(soles), and a bowfin(my second time ever seeing one). We spent a pretty good amount of time hovering inside the opening to the Devils Eye watching two different cave teams exit the system - it really gets you wondering how far down the hole goes eh?
All in all, we had a good time - here are some pics
