Best for expert divers, 20-3m, shore entry.
Sally Ward Spring is a technical cave and cavern site in Northwest Florida Springs, United States. The system features depths ranging from 3 to 20 metres. Divers access the site via a shore entry with on-site parking. The environment is defined by its overhead nature, requiring full cave certification and disciplined gas management. Visibility fluctuates between 6 and 21 metres depending on flow and penetration depth. Divers must maintain strict buoyancy control to prevent silting in the confined passages. Redundant lighting is necessary for navigating beyond the cavern zone, where passages become completely dark. The site is suitable only for expert divers due to the overhead environment and variable visibility.
