After many years of seeing this place on social media, we decided to make a trip out of it. My first choice was definitely not to go in October but that's was out of my control. It was pretty easy to find with free parking and a close walking distance to the entrance. We have no idea what else to expect and what they have to offer in other ways when coming here. We walked into the office and they do charge a fee to rent the goggles and fins if you didn't bring your own. I did, but I'm pretty sure it was like $20 apiece for each of my friends who needed to rent. There's a little gift store inside and next door is where the bathrooms are so everything is not connected. There's plenty of picnic tables and even a giant man-made lake further back. It looks like they were working on it so it was drained. I can't imagine it being busy in October. So you leave your stuff on a picnic table and hope you're surrounded by honest people. You were not allowed to bring any items in the springs which there's nowhere to put them once you go down the stairs. It was really cool hanging out at a cave and snorkeling in the springs. We were all freezing our butts off. You do have a time limit, which I can't imagine wanting to hang out here all day. It's pretty small and unless you're scuba diving, you're not gonna see very much. It was three or 4 o'clock when we came so the sun wasn't directly over us, which made it very difficult to see in the water. There is fish swimming around and you do have turtles. This was a fun experience and definitely a one time thing. read more
