You
have come to the right website for a wealth of information concerning
Florida's Springs and Cave systems.
Underwater caverns and caves can be quite seductive to open water scuba divers.
Curiosity can sometimes overpower good judgment and self preservation,
occasionally resulting in tragedy. Any type of diving encompasses the use
of common sense and following important
safety rules (see below), especially while diving the overhead environment
which might prevent you from seeing the grim reaper...

The best way to avoid problems is
Proper
Training, having the proper attitude, and
proper
Equipment.
|
 |
Preoccupation with the "right" gear configuration
has taken priority over the students comfort level and enjoyment .
We do not belief that there is only one way to wearing equipment
just as no one type of sneaker is recommended for all joggers. Equipment
should be functional, streamlined, comfortable and safe. Your gear
configuration should constantly evolve into something better and more efficient.

Florida's Most
Popular Cave Diving Sites |
|
 |
Suwannee River Valley cave diving sites, without a
doubt, is highly visited, and are among the most popular cave diving
sites in the world, located in North Central Florida. Most of
the world's cave divers learn their skills right here in the heart of cave
country. They are not only the most popular sites, they are without a doubt,
the most suitable for new cave divers since they form a variety of conditions,
including high and low flow, large and small passageways, silt and silt-free
bottoms. No where else will you encounter the diversity these sites offer
you. We cover all of these sites in our courses, since no one
site can offer this array. Most of the systems listed are located in
the Suwannee River Valley which forms a triangle. We are
located only 20 minutes in any one direction from any of these sites.

A testimony from Mr. John Bennett |
 |
"Mike I would like to thank you for taking me
through your Full Cave program. Being a full time Technical Instructor
Trainer and more importantly a very active "cutting edge diver" I fully
appreciate the exceptional quality |
| of the courses you took me through. We
completed seven different systems during the courses. I feel this is
important as it gave me experience in seven different caves from springs to
siphons, each was unique and helped in the learning curve.
The skills and drills you have incorporated into your program such as the
"line entanglement" problem along with repeated emphasis on "Accident
Analysis" far exceeded what I have expected. The program really
hammered home to me the realities of cave diving. It gave me not only
the certification to go cave diving; it gave me the tools and skills to
complete the most important part of any cave dive. To come home
safely.
Great course Mike. I am honoured to have been trained by you.
As Arnie once said "I will be back"!. Your Friend, John Bennett."
