    Did a quick splash in Manatee today. Flow is down just a bit.
    And not as much particulate in the water.

    Thanks!

    BTW -- there were two groups with 20 and 24 (respectively) trying to get in when the gates opened at 8 this morning. I also had a group of 5.

    The Park Management, District Office, and the cave diving community are reviewing the use of scooters at Manatee Springs State Park. As of today they are not allowed, but you can make comments on the Florida State Parks Website.

    Who's representing "the cave diving community" in this review? This is exactly the kind of advocacy that the cave diving organizations should be undertaking on behalf of their memberships.
