Ive yet to dive this and plan to on Monday, opening day. Amigos is having a cookout too! Any tips on diving this sidemount for the first time besides dumping the wing going in and out and having a dolly to get it there? I think its 600 ft long?

It is a very easy sidemount dive. It is mostly wide open, Just a couple of tight restrictions. I can get through all of them with 104s, without removing anything. You do have to wriggle a lot, and one spot requires one tank to be higher than the other. It is also a great place to practice removing one tank, and pushing it in front of you. There is very little silt, and it clears pretty quickly.
It is a state park, so they don't allow solo.
Season runs from October 1st to April 30th,so you have a few more weeks before the place is open.
The North Florida Springs Alliance is making arrangements to purchase a cart and have it at the start of the trail for the dive season. We'll provide more information when we get closer to the start of diving.

Fairly easy side mount dive. Great place to practice! It's a pretty little cave to boot!
