Another Florida cave diving trip

 We were meant to go cave diving in Mexico, but due to unforeseen circumstance, we headed down to Florida instead. I didn't take much pics of the caves on this trip (which I regretted it :/). However, there a couple of interesting "events".

One, we stayed in a "tree house" on our trip down to FL. It was a luxurious expenditure, but this might be the last few times we would be staying in a Airbnb. We are getting a Vistabule Teardrop Trailer - super excited about that. I will make sure to take lots of pics on the day we are picking up the RV. 

Second exciting thing about this FL trip was that we dove in a new cave - Cow Spring. It was a very nice, interesting cave. Although the entrance was a straight downwards ~12 feet decent into a "chimney", the cave opens up after that. The cave was very pretty with colorful clay walls. The flow is pretty strong, and there is a pull-rope in the cave to assist divers, and helps to keep divers off using the rocks as a pull-and-glide diving style. 

Dives on this trip:

Peacock Spring - 56 mins 55 s
Cow Spring - 49 mins 20 s
Ginnie's Spring/ Devil's Eye - 1 hr 9 mins (1st dive)
Ginnie's Spring/ Devil's Eye - 1 hr 5 mins (2nd dive)
Madison Blue Spring - 1 hr 8 mins

I promise more pics in the future.

Florida diving trip

 
Yay! Heading to Cave country for some cave diving again! Hannah would look for nice Airbnb to stay along the way. On this trip, we got to stay in this awesome house by the Mississippi River. We had a small fire by the river, let the dogs run loose, and we just relax, getting ready for the cave dives coming up.






In Cave country - my happy place.On this trip, we dove 
Ginnie's Spring/ Devil's Eye - 45mins 58 secs
Peacock Spring - 1hr 23 mins 
Madison Blue - 57 mins 40 secs 
Orange Grove - 1 hr 20 mins

And of course, there are some above water "hydration time" at High Springs Brewing Company. One of the most unforgettable place is a small diner in a gas station. We had catfish filet there after the dive at Madison Blue Springs. It is delicious, and the fish is fresh and flaky - we would be back again :)  








Of course, it is always nice to hang out with Kate and Adam in between dives. We get to ride around in Adam's "work truck", and even explored some "spring hole".
