Great photos!!! I always love to see the little ones getting some caving in as well.I think enabling children with the wonder and sense of accomplishement that caving/dropping a pit gives will make a WORLD of difference in their futures.Nice to see all the smiles too.

I still can't get over caving in shorts and tshirts.I even wore pants when I caved in Mexico as i like my skin too much .I gather your caves are as hot and humid?I enjoy our caves being around 50f in the summer heat

Thanks! I also think getting kids interested in caves, springs, diving and conservation, at an early age, is the right way to go. Caving sure beats playing in the McDonalds play place.

The CDF Orlando and Central Florida Cavers group created a presentation on Springs and Underwater Caves, which is presented to the Seminole County Public Schools in Central Florida. They tie the presentation in with their science classes when they’re covering geology.

The NSS Central Florida Cavers group is currently working on a caving presentation for adventure groups and the neighboring school systems.

I wear pants in the caves that I don't swim in. Shin and elbow guards also help, along with a helmet. Most of the caves that I have been in are air-conditioned by Mother Nature. They're a blessing to escape from the outdoor heat, especially after a hike, but they are humid. Some tight places get a little hot, except when you're in a water filled cave. :D
