Location description: Some about Cave Diving in Florida
Anke`s Adventures Report
So, I thought - let`s have a go at this cave diving thing in the USA to improve my diving skills a bit. I left the UK on Friday 6th April 2001 at 08:00 with KLM to attempt to complete two diving courses with Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) in Florida - the first course was an Introduction to Cave diving (GUE Cave Level 1), the other a more advanced Sea diving course using trimix and multiple stages (GUE Tech Level 2).
My outbound flight from Manchester to Amsterdam was delayed by one hour which ment that I missed my connection to Miami and thus arrived in Miami ten hours later than planned. Having spent the afternoon in Schipol Airport, I managed to get on a NorthWest flight to Detroid at 16:00 from Amsterdam, but then had an uncertain connection from Detroid to Miami due to leave at 21:30 local time. In the end I managed to get a seat and arrived in Miami just after midnight - with no hotel booked and in no fit state to drive a car anywhere. After some gentle persuasion the lady from NorthWest/KLM agreed to provide me with a hotel room for the night, so all worked out in the end. The hotel was right next door to Dollar`s Car hire depot where I was able to collect my car the next morning and set of for High Springs in the North of Florida The car was a silver four door Grand AM SE 2.4 l petrol automatic with cruise control. I booked it with Choice Air in Blackpool for £380 including all tax, insurance, tank of fuel and additional drivers. It did about 400 Miles to a tank. Petrol cost between $1.49 - $1.69 per US gallon, so about four times less than in the UK. Exchange rate was $1.4 per Pound Stirling.
I arrived at my Motel - the High Springs Country Inn around 19:00 on the Saturday and booked into my room. The owners Bob and Sheila were very friendly and helpful. I got a room with double bed and shower for $39/night. It was clean and well appointed with fridge, microwave, air conditioning, fan and the all important coffee machine. Divers often stayed here and the Motel offered plenty of hooks for drying gear on the patio, and a rinsing off area outside.
We did two to three dives a day for Cave 1 with a couple of hours theory either in the morning before the dives if we stayed local, or in the afternoon if we went further away. Due to heavy rainfalls in previous weeks only Ginnie Springs and Manatee Springs were divable. We were lucky with the weather - it was hot and sunny the first week, a tad too humid for me at times, but bearable.
The Spring is a beautiful rocky pool of crystal clear water surrounded by big trees on one side, car park and Volley ball area on the other and a leads down short run to the River. The cave entrance is blocked off by a heavy grill to stop rec divers going in and so provides a save cavern for them to explore. There is a heavy flow coming out of the cave opening
