    Default Orange Grove Sink closed temporarily

    Orange Grove Sink is closed to swimming and diving. The lower stairs are out of commission until some temporary fixes can be implemented. The North Florida Springs Alliance is working on a temporary fix until a permanent replacement can be constructed. There are numerous projects in the queue and the NFSA depends on donations and membership dues to make those happen. Please consider becoming a member and donating. Many of the structures you find at Peacock Springs, Madison Blue Springs, Troy Springs, and other are paid for by the NFSA and constructed by the hand working volunteers.

    I remember a time when cave divers didn?t need steps to get in or out.
    That giant stride was a right of passage.

    Hopefully the necessary repairs are completed quickly.

    Does this mean that the rest of Peacock is open and divable?

    It's probably the $250 worth of Trimix I breathed but I am confused.

    Dive Outpost posted on Facebook yesterday that Peacock was open and the basins were clear.

    Clearish.

    But probably clearer than the Hillier tunnel after uncertified DPV divers blow it out.

    $15/year is a small price to pay for easy access to these sites. Thanks to the volunteers!
