High Springs, FL
Water Type: Fresh
Entry Type: Shore
Arrived around 11:45am. Didn’t realize they closed at 4pm on weekdays during this time of year so we had to rush to complete two dives. Everyone at Ginnie Springs was very friendly and helpful. The grounds were very nice and accomodating, restrooms were clean, plenty of picnic tables and gear benches, well maintained paths and stairs/docks to access water. We all really enjoyed the diving and the water was clear and warmer than the air outside.

The first and main spring was the largest and most fun for us. There were bars over the entry to the cave system that were fun to hold onto as water rushed by. My wife and daughter really enjoyed snorkelling here.

The second area we went to, with two springs, had more plant life and fish, but the cavern areas that are accesible for most divers were small. You need to be cave certified to proceed much further in either of these areas.
