Very nice. I've been windsurfing there for 15 years and never knew there was a cave in the area. Thanks for sharing.

Very Nice. I have gone to FH park for years (not diving) and never knew that cave was there. Some excellent footage of the entrance and of the siphon. Well done and look forward to part 2. Dive safe.

Cool video!! Thanks for sharing. Curious, at the park, where is that cave located exactly? Thanks!

You guys are doing this again Sunday, right? I'm thinking if I can get free, I might like to join, if that is alright.

Check out google earth, you'll see it plainly as a black circular dot just north of the causeway.

From http://www.mejeme.com/dive/index.html


LOCATION: (lat. 28°09'21.2" N., long. 82°48'02.1" W.)
Approx. 200 yards North of the Fred Howard Park Causeway, Tarpon Springs
DESCRIPTION: Fred Howard Park is the easiest access point for diving this submerged sink and cave system. Boat access is also possible at high tide. The sink is located offshore some 200 yards north of the second bridge of the causeway that heads to the beach. The site is sometimes marked by a piece of white PVC pipe with a line anchored in the wall of the sink. The area around the hole is only 3 to 4ft deep at high tide, so dives should be planned to avoid an aggravating low tide swim through the grass and muck! Also, be sure to bring a dive flag so the aholes on wave runners don't use you & your doubles as a launch ramp.

Is this an actual cave or is it just a big hole. I kinda want o go dive it but I am not a cave diver.

It's a syphon cave, could be dangerous if you don't have some prior training or experience in that enviornment.
