    Exclamation Convict Springs Open to Diving

    Don F., new owner (1.5 years) of the Suwannee River Rendezvous, says Convict Springs is running clear and is open to experienced sidemount divers.

    Keep in mind, and Don knows, that Convict is an Advanced Cave Dive, and you'll need to sign your life away with their forms, but only after proving you have experience in sidemount and cave diving.

    Be safe!

    I heard that you'd need to show an actual sidemount card? Is that nonsense true? Can I just bring a logbook? :P

    Thanks TJ, Last time I stopped there I was told it was closed. It's a super pretty cave. Everyone please be careful of the floor. The clay was covered by a layer of limestone and then the clay washed away leaving some areas with cool formations that will break like eggshells. You don't need big tanks in that cave. I can get to the EOL with a couple of practice dives on 72s.

    A sidemount card will help to convince the owner you are, at least, trained... but showing up with a brand new nomad and a full cave card, barely a year old might not work...

    I'm going to buy a new Nomad and just tie it to the trailer hitch and drag it down the street a few miles. Then it'll look like Mat's.

    Dive Rite will probably start offering that "well used" look as an option.
