wgr21 - 12/07/2021 4:16 PM I went scuba diving here on 12/5/2021. Average viz: 71-80ft/22-24m. Water temp: 66-70°F/19-21°C. Bmax - 12/08/2021 6:02 AM How did you like diving at Vortex? Did you go down to the gate at 110 feet? wgr21 - 12/11/2021 1:57 AM Bmax I had a great time diving there. I didn’t go that deep because I was with my 10 year old son and he is limited to 40 feet max.

Lois - 8/06/2021 7:09 PM Hello! Everyone my name is Lois. I’m brand-new to this adventure sport. Gonna be diving at vortex springs in the morning on the 17th of August. If anyone wants to join me let me know! ChrisR - 8/16/2021 10:20 PM Have a good dive! Please let us know how that was! ChrisR

Bmax - 12/18/2019 7:43 AM Rating Added: 4 The Staff is very friendly. The basin is fairly open with areas for new diver training. The cavern looks like a construction zone, and blast area, but it is interesting to dive. For those with enough training the cave adds extra dive enjoyment by taking you down to 110 feet in water that is Gin clear and about 68 degrees. Reaching the gate you turn around and ascend the cave into the cavern and enjoy the swim throughs and fish.
