A Dive in Vortex Springs, Florida on February 5, 2011. One of my son Luke's Best Friends, Jean Taylor Martin, was doing
his checkout dives along with his Mother Suzanne Martin. They took a class at Round Island Divers in Pascagoula, MS with John Gaffney. We kind of tagged along for the adventure and I of course took pictures and video. This is a video of the Dive at Vortex Springs. Water on top was stirred up from all the Divers, but it was decent in the Cave entrance. I actually got bitten by an eel on my calf as I entered the Cave. I guess they have gotten used to Divers and also not used to seeing one in a shorty wetsuit. However, it did not hamper our Dive and we proceeded without much interruption.
Man, I hate Vortex Springs. It's so cold and if you aren't the first person in the water, your vis is going to be terrible. And OMG it's cold... did I mention it's cold, cause it's cold.

Good looking dive. I have yet to do a fresh water dive, but Vortex Springs has cerntainly been mentioned when ever we DO discuss fresh water.
