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...

Wow -- I did a Cove 2 dive today, with less than 10 feet of viz. But lots of life -- I found 4 different nudibranchs, and Kirk was doing his usual spectacular job of spotting decorator crabs.
