We signed in<br \/>\nand drove over to get our best spot and began unloading and preparing to be the first to enter the water while the visibility was good. Dave and I went in along with Michael, who drove out and surprised me being there. We scoured around the place finding a number of figurines tucked in glooves or placed on shelves.<br \/>\nI notice on the ceiling what appeared to be ribbon from the formation above. I also noticed that it went around this one hugh piece of rock. I can see the bubbles crawling up either side of this rock, up into and through the ribbon just eating away at the support holding that rock up on the ceiling. I can imagine one day, it falling.<br \/>\nYou can also see where divers have been moving the rock to open up passageways. Makes for a different dive every visit. The day started out cloudy, but cleared up and partly cloudy.<br \/>\nTemperature ended up close to 90 degree by 1pm. A very nice day and dive. Thanks to all those that showed up, it made the day more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>Larry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Saturday May 8th, I and a friend drove to Paradise Springs in Ocala.<br \/>\nWe met up with Gerold (Jerry) from Divebuddy.
