    Default Jughole Monday?

    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.

    When I first saw this thread I thought the opening date might have changed for some reason. I've been counting the weeks...

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