    Smile Rivers rising & caves being blown out..time to go inland for fall caverns & or caves

    I always liked the approaching fall season, it seems fun to go looking for remote caves or springs inland, while the rainy season blows itself out. ie: Gunpowder....Jug hole....Paradise...etc.
    There's a lot out there, you just need to get in your car or plane & start looking. the other regular sites will soon be clear again......now is the time to find something new. ^_^

    It's also a great time to do some ocean diving! The water is so warm, you might not even need a wetsuit this time of year!

    I'm on the ocean diving bandwagon-- heading down south for a weekend of snorkeling and scuba this weekend, followed by Mexico caves next month.

    or ......go cave diving at Manatee Springs State Park, old faithful rarely gets closed due to flooding compared to other sites.

    Just a guess, because of the no DPV rule. I respect your opinion. This does not change the fact that when most other systems blow out due to flooding Manatee Springs is open for cave diving. Plus when its close to flooding out there , the flow is significantly less. What self imposed restrictions one places on themselves is a personal choice.
