clutching the rim, i pulled myself down against an upwelling
current much stronger than that Of the river. my fins struck stone,
and my tanks scraped wall. the passage wasn’t tight, but it was
narrow enough for me. down, down. not so much swimming as rock
climbing upside down. in darkness. my diving light showed nothing
but its Own lens. then, About 30 feet down, the water gradually
cleared. I was in a twisting rocky Chimney about five feet across.
below me the cave elbowed off 90 degrees to my right above a white
sand bottom. i swam through the elbow and found myself in a cavern
20 feet across and 8 to 15 feet high. it sloped down into a wider
room from which other bulbous chambers bellied out into a half
dozen tunnels and passageways, each branching and branching again,
down and away into the darkness. And from each, like the life force
of the earth itself, poured the aquifer’s enormous flow. i could
feel its current against my Skin and wetsuited chest. had i let go
of my rocky handhold, i would have shot back up the chimney. the
tunnels down which I shone my light were empty Of Anything but
water, yet the power Of the current surging from them gave the
eerie, pulsing sense of geologic life. it was like crouching in the
aorta of the world. some of the tunnels are up to 200 feet wide and
80 feet high==so large that divers entering them often have No idea
where a given room will end. there’s a half-mile-long side tunnel
3,900 feet into wakulla springs, that looks like the inside of
westminster abbey…40 feet wide, 80 feet high…cathedral
shape…absolutely beautiful. when you see something like that, the
Image fixes itself in your mind. and it stays there until you can
Get back to discover what’s around the next corner
please do have fun and please do bring a pen
