Ginnie Spring (Ginnie Ballroom)
Cavern only (cave gated): Ginnie Springs operator rule [1] (Certified divers of all levels may carry lights; the cave beyond is closed by a grate.). ये श्रेणियाँ उस नामित योजना की अपनी हैं; ये बताती हैं कि किसी site के लिए किस प्रशिक्षण की ज़रूरत होती है।
The main spring at Ginnie Springs: a broad, shallow basin leading to a large cavern room (the Ballroom) about 15 metres deep, with a welded grate at the back that keeps divers out of the cave beyond.
Ginnie Spring is a bowl-shaped basin more than 30 metres across and about 4.5 metres deep, connected by a short run to the Santa Fe River. From the basin, divers drop into the Ballroom, an amphitheatre-sized cavern room that reaches about 15 metres at its very back.
A large welded grate at the back of the Ballroom blocks entry to the silty, maze-like cave system that lies beyond, so this is a cavern dive only. A heavy guideline runs from the back of the room to the entrance to show the way out (a guideline is a fixed line that divers follow in an overhead environment). Ginnie Springs allows certified divers of all experience levels to carry lights here, unlike at the Devil's springs.
