If you have been following this blog through my year-long journey then you have probably seen a pattern emerging– cave diving! I fell in love with cave diving on my very first dive with Jill Heinerth in Ginnie Springs and have since made it a point to visit Jill in North Florida as often as possible!
After saying my goodbyes to the Amazon I headed straight to High Springs. This visit turned out to be a week full of diving with people I have spent years reading about! The plan was to hang out with National Geographic Explorer Kenny Broad for a few days of cave diving while staying with Terri Skiles–nothing too crazy. By the end of the week I had hung out or gone diving with Jill Heinerth, Kenny Broad, Tom Morris, Mark Long, Bill Stone, and the US Deep Caving Team! Needless to say, I was a little blown away!
Once again, sorry there aren’t any underwater pictures from the caves but I still haven’t taken a camera in with me yet!
If you noticed in some of those pictures, the spring levels in some places are extremely low! Falmouth Springs is considered a magnitude 1 spring and it no longer flows. I have always had an interest in water and water use but after falling in love with caves and underground rivers my interest has grown tremendously. Please check out Jill Heinerth’s newest project “We Are Water” if you have any interests in water, freshwater or saltwater! The website for the project is www.WeAreWaterProject.com and you can show your support for the project via the fundraising platform www.IndieGoGo.com/WeAreWater.
Hi Christian
