Need some help finding close caves
Currently live in Dallas and was wondering where the closest (70-degreeish water) caves are? I would like to drive somewhere and dive, but the thought of 15 hours to Live Oak, etc makes me not want to do it. I know Missouri is about 8 hours, but 50 degreeish water doen't sound great.
Thanks

I'm assuming you're fully aware, but am going to say it anyway - Marianna is closer than Live Oak.
I'd take an 8 hour drive to a cold cave. (I don't want to hear anyone living in Florida saying "cave country" is too far.)

Lot's of neat stuff in TX, but it is all permit only
Depending on what part of Dallas you live in, it's only about 12 hours to Marianna.

I do own a dry suit. I just don't know about 50-something degrees.
Thanks for the Marianna suggestion. Can you guys tell me exactly which caves are out there? So far, I have only been to Live Oak and High Springs (Gennie, Peacock, Madison, Little River... Oh, and I did Eagle's Nest to 153' during Deco class)
Not so Clear Springs SCUBA Park is really the only place around here. A training quarry with poor vis. As far as caves, not much. Most are dove under permit.

Hey, you still in Fl or you gone? I may just suck it up and drive 12-15 hours.
