    Default Ginnie

    What's up with Ginnie during the week? The last few times I have been up there on a weekday, I literally had the cave to myself. I used to see instructors teaching alot, and several vehicles parked at Devel's to cave dive. I am not crazy they went up on the fees for cavediving, but it's still a nice system.

    Yeah, I guess you're right. I dove dry, and wished I was diving wet! In years past on hot days, there were still divers during the week. I try to avoid that place on weekends and holidays with all the tubers and such.

    Not to mention the economy is discouraging new students. Cave instruction is way down, with all agencies.

    its the middle of the summer even when the economy was better it the slow season. Divers head to the shore and wrecks

    Ive had OG to myself several times on weekends this year. We dont frequent Ginnie much because of the price to dive there and have to work during the week like most others so not sure how it is then. The heat isnt a reason to keep me away though. I would figure on the poor economy to be taking its toll as well.

    I assume the last one was at the CDS Conference in Marianna, but I guess I missed the announcement that it was happening.

    I dived Jackson Blue yesterday. OMG, y'all. Now I remember why I open water dive during the summer. Put on a bathing suit, throw on a single and walk down to the water.
