Cavern Instructor in Vortex Area

[b1gcountry]

I'm heading down to Pensacola on work next week. I was planning on heading down there a day early, and diving at Vortex on Sunday and Monday. I know this is last minute, but are there any Cavern instructors that would be interested in a little impromptu cavern class? I'm not concerned with getting a certification, I just want to check things out.

PS, I'm TDI Trimix, and have read the NSS-CDS workbook. I'm planning to take a formal Cavern/Basic class in Missouri when the instructor is available.

Don't know what his availability is but you should very much go with Gregg Stanton/Waluka diving. He is top notch.

Lots of great options listed already, to add a few, Rob Neto(Dive_Aholic here on SB) and Kenny Paramare(KennyP here on SB).

I'll throw in my vote for Gregg Stanton and Wakulla Diving Center

Gregg did all my cavern and cave training, he's a great instructor and a very patient and easy going guy.

decided yet, tom?

I'm not sure about what sort of decision I might have. My schedule isn't very flexible, so there's a good chance no one will be available on these dates. If not, I'll just hang out in the basin and check out the mouth of the spring.
