Can anyone tell me if the location of Apopka Blue Sink is accurate in Walt's Tampa Diving Google Earth Map ? On the map it has the sink located to the south west of the power lines. Can anyone with first hand knowledge confirm this for me?

It's accurate, but you'll have to park in a neighborhood (they'll call cops I hear) so be careful. I've talked to a few who have dove it and everyone warned me that it's soft rock prone to collapse so be careful!
It's accurate.
Interesting - If that is so then my sons have stumbled on another one in that area. Its behind the house of a soon to be brother-in-law.

Nice!
Yep ! Now I just have to decide whether to wear a drysuit or a wetsuit to the wedding.

That will depend on whether you dive, before, or after the wedding :roll:Quote:

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.Quote:

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 !Quote:
