Little River

The Little River cave system is one of the most popular cave dives in Northern Florida. Its free access, high flow and typically good conditions make it a popular cave system. I have dove this site many times and was happy to have my dive buddies Ray and Cyndi Blanchard along who were shooting some pictures. Usually I am behind the camera so these are some of the few pictures you will see of me on this site. This dive was in 1998.
