Other places dived--Bahamas, Belize, C.A.; Sea of Cortez, San Carlos, Mx; San Diego, CA; AZ/NV lakes; FL (rivers, springs, caves, Atlantic coast including Ft. Lauderdale area shore dives, keys, snorkeled with the manatees); OBX, NC; NJ coast; Dutch Springs, PA; TX (Valhalla missile silo and CSSP)

If you think it's okay to dive in a cavern or cave without the appropriate training, watch the videos on this web page: Diving the Freshwater Springs. If you still think it's okay, please make sure to donate money to the IUCRR...
