So, since we were so close we headed over to the Grotto. Stopped in at the shop and saw the video. We walked over to the spings to take a look at the entry and decided not to dive. One of the factor is that even they said promoted the deep dive aspect. Well we are from the shores of Thunder Bay Michigan on Lake Huron. Deep, we've got plenty of.
Well we had the time and did not relize how close we were to Ginnie Springs, so we were on the move to do some scouting. Dang! Is this Mecca? I wish I had gotten her name but this gal was heading up some stair to what looked to be an office in the main sho, turned and asked if we needed and she dropped everything she was doing to take as much time as we needed to explain in detail almost everthing about the property. She made notes on a map and sent us out the back door to go have a look around.
I tell you Ginnie and Devil's Den have it going on!!!! There staff made a new guy to the area feel real comfortable and welcome. I will be back to both of those locations.
Woooo Hooo! No dive today and fly out tomorrow.
Thanks for all the great info!!

Jeff,
some others to try and you have to call as of a week or two back were closed due to flooding but are real fun dives with each distinctive traits are Florida state parks real inexpensive like $15.00 to dive! Troy Springs,Manatee Springs,Fanning springs to just list a few,,,
during the week like at the end April we had them all to ourselves, and like Thanksgiving also to cold out for the locals but the 70's did not stop us from having a blast!
