Its a nice site, I wish that cave divers could get legitimate access into the site as the property is fenced off and the sink has a perimeter fence to. Sometimes the gate is ripped down and other times its up. It has a really nice big cavern and a up and downstream cave. The down stream is where you want to dive. It has a good siphon right at the beginning but lets up after you reach the other side of the restriction. Overall a great site.

I've never been. saw it once from the surface and it sure is pretty. shame it's closed to diving...
I hear it used to be backmountable but sand has filled it in for a good stretch so it's sidemount only.
bummer...

Yeah, his name is Officer Disney & he rides an suv, mariner lights & all ! He will cite you once & the 2nd time you will lose your gear & end up with a stiff fine in front of the local magistrate ! Is it worth it ? Apopka Blue used to be a cool local site to practice your skills in ! Today ? Sneak it if you dare, but don't get caught ! A word to the wise !
Merry Christmas !
