Has personality. Devils Den is across the road from here and Ginnie Springs is a short distance further. Alot of options close together. However, this is the better option of the three. Cute cavern with a diving bell attached. A+ facility and staff.

A storm came through the night before this dive so the viz was not as good as normal but still really good.

Did this dive with American Pro Diving while in FL for DEMA. I thought it was pretty cool just for fun dive. It’s an easy dive. Would be know problem for new divers. Crystal River is not far and highly recommend the Snorkel with Manatee’s. That was great and is actually rated as one of the top best animal encounters in the world!

This is a message to all buddy-less divers. This site has a free program available to all members called Scuba Earth. It will ping all divers who are members in any region of the earth that you’d like to dive and show you their contact information. You can then target your communications directly to them. When I first started diving in 2011, Greg’s great invention hooked me up with numerous local buddies and from each dive I met more dive buddies. Check it out.

Site no longer allows divers without cave certification below 60’. New ownership afraid of liability and bowed to pressure from Cave Instructors who wanted to drum up new students which will need at least 3 classes (Intro to Tech, Cavern, and Cave Diving) in order to go below 60’.
ChrisR - 8/29/2022 6:17 PM
That is not good. I therefore scratch blue grotto off my list of dive sites.
