Vortex Spring was a wooded, peaceful area with warm, 68 degree, clear water. My son was still too young to get scuba certified, but he was able to play and enjoy the water while my daughter completed her certification. They have swings, diving boards, and slides to play on. The main reason I like Vortex is that it has things for non-divers to do. Diving costs $32/day/diver in addition to the camping fees which include a single air fill. When you total it up, we were paying $33/night to tent camp! It doesn't cost much more to stay at a local hotel.

Though diving in any overhead environment should not be taken lightly, this cave has a rock bottom with little silt and lighted strips to follow in and out. Experienced divers can also enjoy going into the large cave. Intermediate divers may enjoy the swim-thru's in the spring outside the cave. In the mouth of the cave it is common to see freshwater eels and fish. This is an excellent place to do training because it is clear and calm with very easy entry at docks and stairs and a gradually sloping bottom.
