    Smile Paths : Where do you dive ?

    From your 1st cave dive to current runs where have you been & what caves do you frequent more ?
    ie: (mine) 1st. Snake/Layfeyette Blue

    Peacock system
    Cow
    Bonnet
    Luraville
    Ginnie/Devils
    Jug
    Telford
    Little River
    Orange city..Blue Spgs
    Apopka Blue (now closed}
    Manatee
    Madison Blue
    + several un-mentioned !
    I like the Proximity of Little River & Peacock for convenience of access.

    It would be interesting to see what other regulars like to dive !

    You forgot the Millpond, other than a river cave or two, it's the closest caves for me, but when in cave country, Ginnie is good, but for some reason I like Little River, I think it's because it's pretty much un-controlled and I like that.

    Indian is my favorite in Florida. Ginnie is my easy access cave.

    Mexico has got me, hook line and sinker. I had never been until this year and now I'm planning my 4th trip, plus one next spring.

    In Florida, I haven't been very many places. Ginnie, Madison, Peacock (only once!), JB, Twin and Hole in the Wall, with one side trip to Manatee.

    In Mexico, I've been a LOT of places, but I have the most dives in Grand, Chan Hol, and Jailhouse.

    Places I really like to dive:
    Tallahassee
    Millpond
    Madison

    Places I have dived:
    Like 50 or 60 caves, I don't wanna list em all.

    Places I actually dive on a regular basis:
    Tallahassee area
    Ginnie (ugh, this place again?)

    As much as I like the Millpond, I have to drive past all my favorite caves like Indian and Emerald to get there, so it doesn't really make a lot of sense. And if I'm going to drive to Madison, well, I might as well keep going to Tallahassee. Ginnie is the most convenient, and Manatee was good (RIP scooters. Can we get those back please???) for a long dive without a bunch of work.

    Yeah RIP Manatee. I miss diving there, hopefully they reopen it to cave diving one day (I consider it closed until they allow scooters again).

    I'm kinda with AJ, I don't like Ginnie much but it's easy. Coming from Orlando Indian is "only" 45 min or so past Madison. Mill Pond I love but its 5hrs away and I just can't pass up a dive at Indian, plus boat rental, driving gas and fills start to add up.

    Dove Manatee last week , it was beautiful, no other cave teams, had it ourselves. Do you only cave dive scootering? I have met a few others that will not cave dive without DPV's.
