I had a great dive today. Went in at the Black Lagoon and out the spring at Hart. Flow was OK, I have seen it worse. Vis was very good, the cave looked great! The manager is checking all certs and keeping track in his computer so on the second dive you just have to show your current DAN card and pay. Pretty cool really.
He also told me that the new rule change is you don't have to have 100 dives to go in at the little Hart entrance. They want people new to the system to go with a guide the first time, then you can go on your own. Look on the Hart Springs web page for more info.
Expect a pull and pull situation the first 200 feet into the Cave from the Little Hart Entrance. I would love to see a poor mans scooter, aka rope, put in that section. It would keep people off the floor and protect the cave a bit. The lower section is my favorite part of the cave with great Georthite formations. Please take care around them. They only take 20,000 or so years to form. Have a great dive out there. The park has made a LOT of improvements in the last 5 or 6 years. Take the family, it's a great place.
