Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.
The dive
A clear spring with three openings; dozens of eels live in the cavern. The spring delivers ~48 million gallons a day. The deeper section was dynamited shut on the sheriff's orders in the late 1960s (Chipola Divers).

Edd Sorenson's cave centre on Merritt's Mill Pond: CCR service and training up to CCR cave, guided dives, pontoon rental to Twin Caves and Hole in the Wall, scooter rental for Jackson Blue, lodging via Karst Kottages. Fills while you wait. The fill prices on the older website (air $5 single / $10 doubles, nitrox $0.11/cu ft) are probably outdated.
