Many people have heard about recent flooding in North Florida. Although the water height was not quite historic, some unusual phenomena have occurred. Manatee Springs (usually the last place to go under) actually began siphoning for the first time that anyone can recall. The Santa Fe and Ichetucknee Rivers are very still compared to their normal flow and the Suwannee River is moving very briskly. Despite the high waters, there are still plenty of places to dive. Ginnie Springs is still open for cave and open water diving. The cave is very low flow and the springs are deep and expanded. A local manatee has even been seen in the main spring at Ginnie. Blue Grotto and Forty Fathom Grotto are still open for regular business with good conditions. Access to these sites allowed me to complete a Megalodon rebreather class this week with Tom Pritchard, Don Bishop and Vince Ferris (pictured above). Congratulations guys! Jill Heinerth
