    Cool some basic info

    We have the pavilion right next to Catfish Sink reserved.
    Manatee Springs can cater to all levels of cavedivers (Cavern, Intro, Full, DPV). The park allows 8 cave divers in the system at a time but as divers exit new divers can enter, so we will have a roster going. They also allow up to 35 open water divers in the basins.
    We have a campsite reserved where anyone interested in enjoying a cold brew can partake (after diving). Food will be hamburgers and hotdogs off the grill, salad, chips, kool aid, lemonade and some sweets. Please feel free to bring any other food you might want to share. Music, prizes, volleyball, arm wrestling, roshambo , laughs and a good time to be had.

    Welcome to the forum. After reading you posts we have elected you to work at our "Dunk the Clown" tank attraction for the Summer Social. Believe me it will be the safest place for you to hangout at. See you there.

    I talked to the rangers , as cavedivers exit others can enter, alcohol is allowed at the camping area we reserved, not to get drunk but share a cold brew. Do your research before posting false info please. Checkout the MSSP website or call the park if anyone has any doubt. Thank you.
