    Default Cave Diving Museum Hours

    The Cave Diving Museum will be open the following dates and times. From Noon to Six on
    April 7th and 8th
    April 14th and 15th
    April 21st.
    Our Sat Night at the movies will be on the third Saturday on the 15th. I think having it earlier at 6pm will work better.
    I will add days and hours as quickly as I can manage.
    Thank you all for your Patience. We have a lot of very cool gear in now and the book shop is open with lots of books and videos for you to pick from.
    I hope to see all of you there! Cindy Butler

    From Downtown High Springs take hwy 27 north toward Fort White. At the corner of 9th and Hwy 27 (aka NW1st ave) there is a large white building with an ugly tree painted on it. We are in that corner of the building. Parking is in the back. I will try to add more days as we get volunteers who can open the place for us. Please take notes of the dates we are open.
    We have gear arriving all the time. The bookstore is stocked and things are really shaping up! We will have a computer with DSL free for our visiters, Fax, and other cool media stuff.
    Hope to see you all soon, Cindy

    The Museum will be open on Friday and Sat. of this week. April 6 and 7. If you are in high springs stop by!

    We still have a few shirts and quite a few books and videos for sale in the book store.

    Brian Williams is making the Museum a prepetual placque for the names of every group or person who donates $500 to the museum. We can take donations online on our web site www.overheadtimes.com or you can just stop by or mail them. We still have a lot of work to do and your donations are needed. Anyone that donates over $100 gets their name on the web page as a sponsor. If we get enough donations this month we can expand our hours.

    Thanks to Debbie and Brian for all the hard work on this part of the project. We have also had several others paint, work on machines, and so much more. An unbelievable amount of work has gone into this. Drive out and see what your fellow cave divers have been up to and share our excitement! Cindy Butler, Director, Cave Diving Museum and Library

    Here's what the building looks like from the outside.

    From downtown High Springs:
    Head north on 27 about 1 mile till you see it on the east side of the road

    Bump! Please remember movie night next weekend. The museum is run on donations. We have been told that we will be getting what remains of Sheck Exleys gear from the CDS to display for them. I just have to make arrangements to pick up the gear. Please donate or buy a T shirt or DVD so we can keep the museum open and have a place to keep this equipment and all the rest of the gear on display for all cave divers and the public. You support is appreciated.
