I'm actually up here in Lady Lake near Leesburg. It's going to take longer then expected to get there as there is no direct road. So 9 am is going to be better for me.

Had a fun dive at Ginnie Springs on turkey day. I didn't run into any SBers there, but brought a buddy with me from Baltimore who really enjoyed the dive.
Question about Blue Springs for ya'll since we may do that dive on our way back up on Sunday...is there a dive shop nearby to rent gear at? Is there much to see/do for non-cave certified divers there?

This won't be a caven dive unless two or more of you are caven certified. Also, the spring run is a great snorkle and drift if you're not going to dive. Play ground for kids, camp stoves for cooking, the river has alligators (sometimes) and otters, and big fish to see in the crystal clear water. There are trails to hike, if you're into that sort of thing.

"is there a dive shop nearby to rent gear at?" Not that I'm aware of. Best have your gear when you arrive. Sorry but most shops close on Sunday to be able to dive themselves. :11:

Good call on shops being closed on Sunday - I forgot all about that. I've got gear with me but my buddy doesn't, which is the problem. I'll see if he's up for squeezing in a Saturday dive. Thanks!

no need to thank, my pleasure, I'm a picture snapping fool... I am soooo tired, I am debating diving with you guys tomorrow morning, I have been diving every day this week, JUST walked in from two days in west palm... it was perfect Friday, then especially rough seas today, I fed the fish after the first dive, and after the second... I really think it was more the diesel exhaust, than the seas (and maybe a slight hang-ver to boot).
What did you guys decide on, between 8:30 and 9 at the gate?
