    Default Apopka Blue Sink

    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!

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

    Wear the TUX under the drysuit, just like James Bond!

    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.
