A different kind of caving

Last weekend Jason and I took Chewie and went to Cypress Springs in Florida. Jason got a new dive computer and underwater camera and wanted to try them out before out Honduras trip. We borrowed a canoe from Taylor and paddled to the springs which was not far from the launch. The land around the springs is owned by a bottling company and now the springs can only be reached by boat. The water in the springs is crystal clear and it is a local hangout spot. There were lots of families there and Chewie had lots of dogs and kids to play with. The mouth of the spring is down about 40 feet and at the opening the flow is so strong we had to grab the rocks and pull ourselves into the cave. After you get through the entrance it opens up and the flow slacks off. We went down to 62 feet and could still just see the entrance, Beyond that point you have to take your tanks off and squeeze through and we are not cave divers so we headed back up. Jason's camera is great and he got some really good pics. Can't wait for Honduras!
