Can anyone give me the GPS coordinates for the Croaker Hole in the St. Johns River?

(I spent Wednesday trying to find it, with no luck. I've heard it's a pretty cool dive with a small cave/large spring).

Thanks!

Is this the one in Putnam county (St. John's River basin)?

If so, it is 29.438417N 81.694811W (the best numbers I have).

If you find it and you would like to have it listed on my site let me know.

This is a little closer...Supposed to be a nasty little hole BTW...

Rick,

I went ahead and added a page for Croaker Hole - http://www.tampadiving.com/sections/diving/cave_systems/system.asp?ID=159

Thanks for offering to put a conditions report up. I look forward to hearing about your dive.

Haven't been there in a few years. Sort of dive you only want to do once or twice. Very high flow, <60', one short tunnel, good viz. Watch out for the fisher folk.

The place is hard to find but we did without a GPS unit. The short tunnel
(100 feet approx) ends in a breakdown, but there are sidemount restrictions on both sides where it goes no mount. I have video documented this. I really like the variety of wildlife in the system as fresh
and saltwater creatures inhabit it.

Use the power lines as a reference point, it will make it much easier.
