Stayed at the Hydro Lodge in High Springs last week and noticed there weren't any pixs for me to view before I made reservations. So, thought I would remedy that for others with the attached.

It was my first visit and would recommend it to you: Quiet, very clean, great tasting water, nice HVAC system, and everything felt new. It's set up for divers w/ a nice covered area outside w/ good night lighting + a large, lockable storage shed. Cave diver/instructor Richard Dreher did a nice job setting everything up, including a good sized dinning room/classroom area (sorry, I didn't seem to shoot that room and it's one of the HL's best assets). If you are a gourmet cook you might find the counter space lacking (I bought everything pre-cooked from Winn Dixie and stored it in the frig) and a W/D would have been nice (but a laundrymat is close by). I give it a thumbs up.

We spent a week there during my Cave 2 class, and I agree -- clean, comfortable, and well set up. But I learned that laundromat hours in High Springs aren't exactly what one would wish them to be, if taking a cave class with seals that decide to self-destruct :)
