Hi George.
I've been drift diving several times at Rainbow
river springs. The headsprings section is a park where they will not allow
swimminng past the swimmers rope bondaries. They also will not
allow
any dive equipment to be taken into the water at
the headsprings. So we always put in a little downriver at K.P. hole. K.P. hole
is a park too, but one is a state park and the other a county park.
No problems at K.P. hole. You just pay your $3.00,
get your wrist band and go. Last time we went there, we took two cars and parked
one at the bridge's parking lot way south downriver. Then we
took the other car back north to K.P. hole and put
in there to drift dive. We drifted 3 hours to the bridge, then got out, took one
car from the bridge's parking lot and went back and picked up the
other
car at K.P. hole. A dive buddy and I were thinking
of doing a spring dive this weekend. Maybe K.P. hole. The temp is always 72
degrees and the viz is always very good. If you stay in the middle of
the
river your draft should be ok. Some parts of the
river do get very shallow, but if you stay right in the middle you should be ok.
What time were you thinking
of going to K.P. hole George? It would be fun for
us to dive alongside your ROV while you test it. I don't have an underwater
camera, but if you have an underwater camera I could take some pictures of it
for you underwater.
Also if you want to coordinate us meeting up here
is my phone number. (727) 819-8352
Bill Akins.
