    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.)

    72f, woo hoo , 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 ...
