Ginnie Springs / Manatee  Florida Trip, Nov. 10 - 13

The Ginnie Spring basin is a large, bowl-shaped depression measuring over 100 feet across and 15 feet deep.

A 150-foot long run connects the basin to the nearby Santa Fe River. The chief attraction here is the Ginnie cavern, whose wide, open entrance can be found at the bottom of the basin. Ginnie cavern is among the handful of sites

that experts consider sufficiently safe to allow exploration by divers who lack formal cavern or cave diver training.  Certified divers of all experience levels may take lights into the water with them at Ginnie Spring and use these lights to explore the underwater cavern. Divers who follow the posted guidelines should be able to enjoy nearly the same degree

of safety inside Ginnie Cavern as they experience when diving in open water.   This provides an excellent opportunity to get a taste of what cavern and cave diving are all about.
