Possible n. Fl sprigs diving trip in the future

Sounds like you will need to accommodate your non-diver friends.. That's another reason why High Springs is a good spot. Canoe/kayak with surface support, tubing and snorkeling are all readily available. You also have a couple decent restaurants nearby like 'The Great Outdoors' and 'El Patio',, and just a few mins from Alachua and Gainesville if you are looking for a little more variety.

Just another thought if you can squeeze in an extra day away from your friends.. Taking a cavern diver course really opens up a lot of diving options in this area. Even if you don't plan to ever dive the caves, a cavern course will really help you understand what's involved and might get you a dive guide to show you around..

Just returned from diving several of the Springs, this past weekend. Blue Grotto was by far the best, due to the fact that snorkelers are in limited numbers. Fantastic pavilions to gear up/break down for diving. Hot showers, too. Will NEVER go to Ginnie Springs in the summer again!! Thousands of yahoos drifting on tubes while getting hammered and stoned. After exiting the water from our night dive, the air was filled with the aroma of weed. Devil's Den was a dud, in my opinion.
