I'm leaving for a FL vacation next week and was wondering if any of the cave divers on here could tell me what sort of water temps I can look forward to while I'm there.
thanks

okay, the cave divers seem to be silent, they're probably all in caves having fun. Can anyone tell me what sort of water temps I can hope for in Florida?
thanks

Water temps in the caves or ocean?
caves :) but it'd be nice to know what the dfference is down there.
It depends on which cave you're in I hear. Many are in the 70 degree range.....7 mm time!
Spring temps range from around 68 to 72 degrees F, and maintain a constant temperature year round. If there is little flow, the basin and run will see temperature fluctuations along with the weather, but once inside the cave the water temp will be stable around 70 degrees F for the most part (you will find the occassional deep water vent where you can notice a temp difference, but the variation is very localized.)

Just got back from Florida about 1/2 hour ago.....the water temps I had were about 72 degrees F
72f, woo hoo :D , the last two days diving here we had 28-29f water temp, it wasn't bad in the water but the temp of -27f (wind chill) certainly grabbed us by the boo boo, hehe. I think I'm going to like it in Florida
Agreed. And I can probably think of more reasons too ...Quote:

I spoke to Edd of Cave Adventurers and he reports that the water in Merritt's Mill Pond was a chilly 59 degrees the other day. Inside the caves it's the usual 68 degrees, as long as there's positive flow.
