Ginnie Springs / Devil's Cave - Expressway Tunnel

Fun quick little dive with Al to the Expressway Tunnel. over half of the video was deleted by a computer that crashed.

[@robertolesen5782]

I remember these springs from my college days. It wasn’t a commercial place back then, you just had to know where it was. There was a spring called Poe’s nearby too and I always wondered if it was connected to the Ginney comple somehow. Beautiful video by the way thanks for that.

[@bmcadventures]

Preciate it ....

[@dirtmcgirt8240]

Ginnie has become a shit show..

[@dasaxophonist]

I'm planning to go there in a few days to snorkel. Hope to get some nice shots like you

[@nicksavage4763]

Fantastic short adventure. First Spring I ever saw taken there as a kid. It was down a dirt road back into the woods. Pristine Condition, No other people, No stairs, No admission charge, just Nature at its best all to My Dad and Me. The Real Fountain Of Youth in tales of old. Great Photography.

[@bmcadventures]

That's awesome! Thanks for the comment. They really are Springs Eternal ......great memories

[@squarecracker]

My ginnie springs memory is from 2007. I was at UF and camping for a friend's birthday. As i first pulled out one guy had his knife out threatening another group of guys, swinging it wildly. I went for a swim and dove down into the spring. I accidently brushed up against a young woman's leg as i was surfacing. I apologized to her she got her boyfriend to try and fight me. I really dont like being at places that allow alcohol.

[@Ferinm]

Wow ... water is so crystal clear

[@michaeltaylors2456]

Might be the best KZbin music I’ve ever heard for a documentary style video. Starting at the 9:00 mark, it’s almost like a sci fi inter dimensional portal scene

i wish the rainbow river had cool caves lol... im near dunnellon fl

[@erctla387]

The musical journey of this video took me through preparing for battle to a happy feeling that everything will be alright. While Bluegrass wasn't what I expected when you hit the cave portion, I was definitely down to listen to it. Honestly though, you're going to give an impression that cave diving is fine and dandy, easy when it isn't with that music.

[@bmcadventures]

Lol, yup it’s one of my happy places. Most of the time it is very relaxing and enjoyable. Yeah, a lot of people don’t like the blue grass. I think I’m gonna turn the music up a notch on my next video.

[@robertolesen5782]

I did not think I like blue grass either until I listen to Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, Marcus King and the like.

[@NarcosisJunky2]

Great video with great music. Love it. I wish their where caves where I live on the west coast.

[@sunnyscott4876]

Great music, excellent video...but there's not enough money in the world to get me to do this. 🤯😱🔦🤯😱😱😱😱😱😱

There were a bunch of them there that day. I've never seen so many there at once.

Awesome video.

[@never2old-sd638]

Very good video! I went to dive Ginnie a few weeks ago and I felt in love ! I only did the Ginnie ball room cause I’m not cave or cavern certified yet but I’m going to work into getting certified so I can do Devils ear.

[@bmcadventures]

Right on. It's a fun system. Thanks for the comment - Be safe!

[@ericdroddy7444]

Awesome video I also wanna get cave certified but with a rebreather. But would like to see a video of Peacock caves. Happy bubble's!!

[@olsurferguy1]

Dived these 40+ years ago.

[@terrismith9662]

Is that "I'll Fly Away" @ 5:48?? First time I have seen a cave diving video with a Bluegrass soundtrack. You made this ol Kentucky girl's heart sing!Oh and btw Awesome dive.

[@ProfileP246]

Loving the bluegrass big time! not so keen on the overheads but beautiful.

[@bmcadventures]

Just kind of a spur of the moment tune/mood :)

[@charlesg7926]

I did this one. Freaking awesome! My only warning to everybody is that I really recommend you tie your line (your reel line) off BEFORE the entrance of the cave, because the entrance is very hard to see from the inside. If my wife hadn’t been watching from the entrance and waved to me and partly come inside, then I possibly could have missed it, gotten lost and drowned. It’s probably a slight overreaction because I still had a good amount of air left, but still, make sure that you have a LINE REEL showing the entrance. The first time I did it, I didn’t have a reel, and I’m never gonna make that mistake again lol

[@Mrich775]

The wording in this post tells me you may not have cave training, please, do not enter caves unless trained to do so through a recognized agency and instructor. There is nothing worth dying for in any cave system.

Thank you.

👌👏🤝☠👽. Been there. Best

[@underwaterworlds7290]

Really love the video! Some great clear footage. Gotta say though, don't you think the first two songs are reversed? The epic Celtic song sounds like it should play as you descend into the underworld and the country sounding bluegrass song when you're in the springs headed there! What is that first song by the way?

[@bmcadventures]

You are probably right ? I can't remember the name I'll have to look on my other computer.

[@Goddess7774]

Hey sweetness, it seemed quite annoying having to adjust your reg constantly. Otherwise, beautiful dive.

[@JustPlainRob]

Is this a heavy metal concert? Because there was a lot of head banging in this video =3

[@azdeatherage]

Cool

[@gyenyame3350]

half on the video saw his face😂

[@stevenrein3118]

Great video and skills guys. Did you use the permanent line or your own or both? I'd would have loved to do that but never did and now with heart issues would never try it. Any way with my sense of direction I'd be a hazard for sure.

[@bmcadventures]

Went in on the main line and had to put in a couple jumps. The second part of the video was lost to computer crash.

[@johnandrews7656]

Don't let your heart stop you ask your doc, I had a triple bypass my doctor cleared me to go back to diving

[@tonypatino6829]

That shit's crazy

[@bmcadventures]

LOL

[@christophercline6001]

Look a little nervous with the quick hand movements and one of your back up lights was on need to double check that when you get to depth. These caves are getting hard to recognize so many ppl have worn the rocks down

[@bmcadventures]

Yeah, my light on was one of the first things I noticed....

[@bmcadventures]

It may look that way but that was an awesome dive, Just a little "spazy" from excitement....

[@AmonAmarthFan609]

Imagine if that tunnel was like 10+miles long and just happened to cross an international border....imagine the smuggling oppurtunities

[@MsTek]

Why did you shove the poor turtle?!

[@bmcadventures]

I know right, I can say that was not me or my scooter :)

[@ericdroddy7444]

Which one has the restriction that you must take off your tanks to go through ?

[@Mrich775]

Fluffy/fuzzy bunny tunnel(I've heard both names), which is the entrance to bunnyland is one tunnel in the system that's no mount.

[@bmcadventures]

@@Mrich775 Ive seen a couple videos. Where is it? by the lips bypass????

@@bmcadventures it's near the bypass, correct, I don't go any more specific than that usually so people don't kill themselves.

[@pinkeymiller8591]

Why is it called the devils cave?

[@bmcadventures]

You know I'm not sure. Sure is scary though :)

[@MrRobjs83]

so I noticed it looked like you exited the cave at Devils Ear which is the middle one correct? And you entered at Devils Eye which is the 3rd one over where there is a current going against you and there is a big log at about the 20 ft range, with the cave enterance at the 50 ft range?

[@bmcadventures]

We went in the Ear (where the big log is) and exited the Eye. They both have a fair amount of current.

[@MrRobjs83]

ah ok, I wasn't sure which is which. I don't remember the eye having current, thats where the grim reaper sign is. But the 👂 had a strong current you had to fight on the way down, the cave enterance was pitch dark, we just hung out there briefly and went back up. We didn't dive the 1st enterance before the 2 because it looked pretty narrow, not sure what its called, maybe also Devils Eye ?

[@downbelow5532]

Rob S. The first opening in the spring run is little devil and does not connect to the other systems as far as I know. There is a reaper sign in both the eye and the ear as a warning to anyone not cave trained to stay out, there is nothing worth dying win there. The eye is the round entry in the middle of the spring run and is the terminal end of the gold line. The ear is the last entrance in the middle of the river and has two directions that you can go from the entrance, one takes you deeper into the cave system and the other takes you to the eye. There is strong flow throughout the system which makes swimming challenging but definitely worth getting the training to explore.

[@MrRobjs83]

@@downbelow5532 yeah we only encountered strong current in the Ear , they were both cool dives though. We didn't go past the cavern enterance at the 👂, mainly because of the strong current. Do you know how deep Little Devil Spring goes?

[@dirtrider88]

so the little devil is the one thats at the very end furthest from the river? does ginnie connect to any one of the holes by the ear and eye? how deep was that cave/tunnel you were in? Im not a diver but I was there a couple days ago and was fascinated by the whole thing. just wanting to learn more.

[@jeremymayer4223]

Why aren’t these things ever called “Jesus’ cave” or “Yahweh’s eye?”

I know right !!!

i think because the devil lives undergound

Music sucks so bad couldn’t finish it. Video was good until I stopped about 3 minutes in. Would rather hear talking and explaining or even the breathing and peace of the water. Not some dude playing banjo lol

why not turn the music off? what did you want to hear the sounds of a scuba diver? come on lol
