That's terrible.

Is Ginne Springs all caves or is caverns also?

Large complex of caves in that area, some of which open up into this system. There's one very large cavern called the Ballroom that is grated off at the bottom. It's very dark at the bottom, but you can see the opening from anywhere and it has a HUGE flow to keep silt from settling. Did I say there's a MASSIVE flow in the ballroom yet? It's very hard to swim against it's so strong.
 
there are parts of the ballroom where you can't see any daylight at all.
there's a thread on this in the accidents forum. He posted as Cave Bum on here and all of the facts still aren't known
