Remember when?? A Cypress Springs Thread

[SuPrBuGmAn]

Remember when we thought the boat launch used to get to Cypress was at the corner of SR79 and SR279, it took us all day to get up to the Spring and we had to take a nap mid-trip because we were all too out of shape and too inexperienced with canoes?

This was back in '04, LOL.

Remember when we used to tie the canoes up to trees and gear up in the water, and somehow mananged to get back in the canoes without swamping them?

Remember when we almost thought Becton was Cypress? LOL

Remember the flow at the cavern entrance?

Remember how enthusiastic we used to be to get out to Cypress several times a year?

Remember when I killed your browser dimensions?! Oh wait!

Remember when we could dive there without worrying about anyone else in the water at the same time?

Remember when we started to realize unlimited visibility?

Remember when I actually had an underwater camera setup?!

Remember meeting all kinds of new dive buddies during Cypress trips?

Remember the most picturesque spring you could ever visit?

I remember diving it on those awesome....unlimited Viz days:

I remember diving it when we took two Yankees to dive it....and some guy was still diving doubles....Remember that?

And....I remember diving it on a NOT so clear day....

Cypress is BY FAR my most favoritest OW spring, like, evah!!! It's my favorite easy place to take somebody by boat, who otherwise wouldn't be able to get there, it makes me a happy guy.


Yeah, you gotta look out for those dumb yankees with the doubles... wait... that guy looks familiar...

great for hanging out!

and let's don't forget Becton, where I got to do two of my favorite things... looking for odd things, AND handling a turtle!!

I can remember all the way back to Vortoberfest 2008, when I dove it Cypress for the first time. I seems like it was almost yesterday . Man, I love that place, I can't wait to get back there.

I remember that dive as well Walter!

Next time we are in town we are going to make a point to go there since Kailyn has never been. Your more than welcome to come along Rob - Ill watch you wiggle in the sand to the EOL in cypress. I think there is almost 10 full feet of line!

I'm still waiting on that video from Andreas of Mat riding his gear like a bull.
