If Spring-SpringFest doesn't hold enough shinanigans and debauchery to keep held over, FL Conch Divers are holding their bi-annual Megadive at Ginnie Springs. Everyone is invited and there is diving onsite for all levels of diving. There are caves for those certified to that extent. Several caverns available to those certified. Ginnie's mainspring ballroom, a nicely sized cavern, is even open to OW divers as its fairly forgiving without silt or clay to kick up. There is also a nice little spring run from Little Devils which, goes over Devils Eye, and Ear(in the river); as well as the basin for Ginnie Spring's mainspring for those strictly looking to stay in OW. If the river is clear enough, its quite fun to drift dive from the Devils system to Ginnie's main run.

There will be cooking out, breakfast, maybe a little drinking :wink: , and everyone will be having fun. They have a great bunch of divers over there that enjoy meeting other divers. Plenty to do for the non-diving family as well.

In the same area as Ginnie are several other very nice springs to visit that can suit several levels of diving experience. Definately a trip to consider!
 
Does Ginnie allow lights for OW divers for the OW-ok caverns? Seems I had read the answer was no.

edit: yep, it's in their rules/policies. That means I'm definitely not going... shucks.
 
You can take lights at Ginnie Spring into the ballroom, just not at Devil's since that is where the caves are. Plus just put your light in your BC...the spring nazi is only above water. LOL!

Happy Diving!

That totally should have been included in the main post. The link above is the official thread for the Spring Megadive and the dates are April 11-13th.

Like Carolyn said, you can take them into the Ginnie main spring(Ballroom), just not to the Devil's Eye/Ear.
 
Mega-Dive at Ginnies Springs starts this coming Friday 4-11 thur 4-13 and the Florida Conch divers would love having some Deep Dixie divers attend. It is a family friendly event open to EVERYONE reguardless of your skill level. As Matt has stated there really is something there for everyone and the Galaxy dive is something not to be missed. A weekend of camping/diving/campfires/community
what more could you ask for ?

Heres a link to the offical thread
