Anyone know conditions at Ginnie Springs? Are they open for diving? Hope everyone in the area came through the weather event well. Bill

Called them? They have a lot of trees, so don't doubt they could have some damage.Originally Posted by wingman

Called them and got a recorded message that the office is closed. Nothing on the web site, they may be busy. Bill

Facebook just says they are closed today and will post reopening date after assessing conditions.
Good luck Bill. I am reading Ginnie is closed until September 26th, with a major flooding level of 35.5ft. The last major flood for them in 1998 was 32.2, and that flooded out the whole basin -between Devils and Ginnie

Kelly I remember standing there in 1998 at the water line looking DOWN at the vent pipe on the bath house. It was my first time there so I didn't understand the magnitude. My shocked instructor was quickly trying to think of plan B for our cavern course! And this could be worse!
EE posted a message on Facebook saying that Ginnie is closed until 26 Sept. They're apparently anticipating record-breaking peak floods on Thursday...(Floods in excess of 35' predicted for Fort White)
Mine expires next week...last time this happened they extended the passes the number of days they were shut...
