Blue Grotto is a fresh water spring located in Williston, Florida. As you can see in the picture (yes, that's from Blue Grotto), there's plenty of fish and at least one curious turtle. More importantly, the springs are a fairly consistent water temp in the low to mid 70s, with platforms for staging and a depth of 50 feet.

For these trips, we are including the following:

• Lodging: We have located a lovely rental home with 6 bedroom spaces, cooking, bathroom facilities. What this gets us is the ability to decompress and bond as students. But there's also plenty of space for people to do their own thing.
• Entrance Fees at Blue Grotto
• Pool session at Blue Grotto: Jim will lead practice before the open water check out dives.
• 2 days check out dives
• Cylinder/Weight rentals at Blue Grotto
• Use of Black Hills Aquatic Adventures rental equipment (BC, Regulator/gauges) that you transport yourself.

Not included:

• Airfare: Check out flights into Tampa or Orlando 
• Transportation
• Food and Drinks
• Any additional sightseeing as wished.

Divers who would like to have a non-diver accompany them, the non-diver fee covers:

• Lodging in the same room
