Cave diving in Ginnie Springs.   (Photo: Kevin 'Elvis' King)

North Florida waterways are filled with dozens of eerily beautiful sinkholes, natural springs, and caverns, making them a boon for cave divers. The best spot, and the one Jacques Cousteau dived, is Ginnie Springs, near Lake City—in winter, you'll have the run of the place. Take a two-day Introduction to Cavern Diving course with Michael O'Leary of cavediving.org ($250 for two students or more), then jet over to the Dive Outpost in Luraville to pick up the laundry list of diving supplies you'll be needing.
