Does everyone camp out at Vortex for the cookouts and such? My husband and I have never been to one though each year we say this is gonna be it. He has vacation time this year, so...I'd like to get some of the nitty gritty details of it all. Thanks for the input.

Most people either camp or rent out one of the cabins that are available at Vortex. The majority of people come in on Friday and leave on Sunday. Vortex Springs is used as a base camp and dives are organized to dive Vortex, Morrison, Cypress, St. Andrews Jetties, and even a boat dive if weather allows. Saturday is the big cookout and everyone gathers up with their favorite beverage, eat way too much food, and sing Karaoke if you are so inclined.

so which springs? Sorry, but I am not in the area and looking at maybe coming out this fall and wondering what would be the best places to hit. What would you recommend for maybe 3 days of diving?

We usually show up Thursday to set camp, and maybe get in a local night dive. Friday we hit several of the springs in the area, and Saturday we hit Panama City for a charter or shore dive. Good vittles are cooked Friday and Saturday night. Realistically, we always have too much protein, so if you want to bring grill-able veggies, deserts, etc., you'll probably find someone willing to barter some burgers, dogs, chops, steaks, filets, sausages, claws, tails, fingers or ribs.
Here are some pics from past Vortober and SpringFests:

Some sad news. According to Shane on FB he is no longer with Vortex.

He posted something somewhere here a few(several) months ago that he was likely leaving....
does this mean that Doc is taking it back over? or staying with the same owner and just a new manager?
