Hey everyone,

I was just curious if anyone from the board will be diving Vortex Springs in Florida this weekend? Im going down for my OW cert dives and will be diving there on Friday. Our second day is still up in the air. We will be diving either Cypress or Morrison depending on the crowd.

If by chance anyone from the board happens to be there I would love to meet them and maybe take a short dive together. We have a group of about 28 or so coming down from Arkansas. 2 instructors, 3 Divemasters, 12 OW students, and the rest are AOW students and pleasure divers.
 
Just wanted to say good luck on your O/W dives, mon!

You will love Cypress. :)

You'll love Cypress as long as all 28 of you aren't in the water at once, I think I saw a sign there that said "Maximum Capicity: 10." :) Compared to the quarries here in Indiana that we do our certification dives in, I think Vortex would be excellent, although I have heard it can be crowded on the weekends (the only time I was down there was on a Thursday).

Are we talking about the same Cypress Springs near Bonifay, FL? I have been going there for almost 2 years and never seen a sign that says that!

And yes, I have been there when there were DEFINITELY more than 28 people in the water.

AAMOF I was just there about 3 weeks ago...

I hope it's not too late to wish you good luck! I know you will enjoy the heck out of it. I will be down in Vortex next month. I can't wait.
 
We'll be close by... heading out with Hydrospace (Gulf) 11-3 Saturday, 9-1 Sunday. Mostly fun dives (a couple of Nitrox students, but all their "supervised work" is in the planning and the debriefing). If we get blown out we'll go to Cypress.
