Cavern Conditions expected next week? +

[anilao_dvr]

Coming down to FL next week for my semi-annual visit (Mom-in law lives near Ocala so my wife goes to visit her mom, and I tag along to dive the springs). My buddy is meeting me there, and we plan to do some cavern dives for 3 or 4 days mid-week. (Mon, Oct 23 - Thurs, Oct 26)

The sites we're looking at are 1) Ginnie (primarily Ballroom), 2) Paradise, 3) King Spring (Crystal river), and maybe 4) Devils Den.

Saw on the forum that Ginnie expects to re-open, but would appreciate any info on what conditions to expect, and where might be better than others based on conditions. (We have dived all of the sites before, and are both NSS Cavern certified.) Our preferred sites (if we only get to do 2 are the Ballroom at Ginnie, and Paradise)

Thanks for any info/advice

Here is a link to a page in the CDF resources section. There are a lot of cavern sites listed, many with contact info. I would suggest calling ahead to make sure they are open for diving.
