    Default Ginnie Springs

    Update as of Friday April 15th, 2005
    Diving is open at Ginnie Springs. However, due to the current flood conditions, open water and cavern certified divers are restricted to diving at Ginnie Spring. Devils System is open for entry via our property for Intro, Apprentice, and Full Cave divers.

    Conditions can change quickly. Call the store for update 386-454-7188

    Why would you debunk this?

    I wanted Ginnie all to myself...

    we need to spread the rumor to all the tourist, last time i was there I actually experienced a silt out when going from little devil to the ear because of a group in inertubes. and then sombody used me as a ladder to get back in their tube, i got pushed into the bottom. as you can imagine I was prety pissed, guess its my fault for trying to swim under them...

    Default nite dives

    reminds me of the late nite dive excursions in Little River, while making our deco stops & viewing the locals with their girl friends skinny dipping in the spring basin......amazing what our primary lights will do for the 'performing artists'-! :P

    Dido Rich, I am not aware of anything in the world that can bit 25 minutes of deco on the Eye with UF students passing on an inner tube. Freankly speaking, the combination of O2 and UF girls on tubes, have made me reconsider that "NO EXCERSISE" rule.

    Human Evolution makes me wonder: from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Dry Caves to Wet Caves. Nevertheless, from HomoErectus to HomeSapiens, from Org. Caves still to Org. Caves! DAMN ...

    Why do you think they call that part of the system the eye.


    Double the the Tanks, Double the run, Add a stage for more fun..... Keep on Diving.

    I don't know about NOW, but in the BW era, often the unsuspecting night time skinny-dippers would get caught at the Eye at Ginnie; divers deco'ing would flood the OW basin with enough candle-power to make the water purely invisible; QUITE IMPRESSIVE!!
