Deleon Springs State Park, Deland FL   10 May 99

     Scuba Training for Kevin Ritchey at Deleon Springs. I took the stills and some video.

     Directions:  9 miles north and west of the town of Deleon Springs on Rt 17.


Enter Spring/Lake via steps..... How easy can it get?

Kevin above the spring outlet where all the 'trash' swirls around you.


Learning to Ascend


Kevin from Anderson, SC (a Clemson Allumni...)


Looking up through opening in spring opening


The Spring's lake bottom.  I saw 1 fish the whole day...but didn't have the camera ready to capture it...


Looking up through water at some passing clouds


Looking up through opening in Spring. Note the 'flying' debris


Looking down into the cave passage while already inside the spring. The current (outgoing) is VERY strong, but less once you pull yourself into the opening.


Note that box of foodstuffs (center left). The squirrels and birds helped themselves to it while we were in the lake.  You should always remember that park animals are smart... and thiefs...
