Ginnie springs is really cool and a relatively safe place to experience scuba diving in a fresh water spring.

I went to Ginnie Springs with my Senior Scouts. I saw a shiny object on the floor of one of the springs. It changed my life. It was a miniature lock back knife. I put my old 3” lockback in a drawer where it remains. Once hooked on the little blades there was no turning back
We went out into the river and there was a large tree extending out over the water. The scouts went out there to jump in the river.
One scout raised a hue and cry....... manatee! Manatee!
Everyone started looking for the rare beast so close.
He deflated the baloon.......”no manatee, it’s Mr bert.”
