    Yep, either "cave country", Gainesville, or Williston would be the closest. Extra tanks are your best bet.

    It's only 31 miles to Cave Excursions East, and 35 miles to Amigos.

    And it is a great place to stay when diving. It is set up to accomodate divers with outside lockers and drying racks. I stayed there with a couple of other people a few weeks back. The amenities are great and it has 3 beds, 2 baths, and a full kitchen! Thanks Michael Angelo!
