Only 2 other divers present when we started our dive. Temp was great, between 74-75 degrees. Visibility was excellent. Dock and stairs are newer and easy to enter water from. |

We were only crew here on a Thursday. Water was pristine and 75 deg warm on a cool February day. Virtually no detectable flow and a new training platform to boot! Beautiful day of diving! |

Only about 8 divers here today. Water level only slightly elevated and is now below the deck. Viz was excellent! Nice warm 74 deg Water. Sure beat the 55 deg air! |

The vis was excellent even with the rain. Got to see an Albino Crayfish. Did two dives and had the cavern to ourselves. |

Hard to believe we were the first team in the water on a holiday weekend. Vis was top to bottom. Ran line drills at the bottom. Three 30 minute dives and only saw three other divers all day. Paradise is a perfect place to practice, lots to see and seldom traveled by other divers. |

Very clear, had a great dive. Water was 75 degrees. It was raining so there was not much natural light but still overall a good dive. |

Excellent conditions. You can almost see the cave sign (at 100ft) from the water surface. |

Air clear to start the day. Kicked up a little bit later on. Never worse then 100 other than small local spots (oops!). |

Conditions were near perfect. Only 5 divers total, in 2 groups. Neither group silted it out, so it stayed perfect the entire day. |

Great early on |
Our first dive here was also the first dive of the day. The cavern and cave were beautiful and clear. We exited as another group entered. Things were silting up pretty quickly, but after an hour or so surface interval, things had cleared back up nicely. Very nice facilities topside and excellent cavern dive. |

Arrived at 10:30. There was one group of 3 divers, and another group of 4 AOW students. Place was cleared out by 3:00. Awesome dive. I got to 144 ft in the cave. It continues a little further, but back mount gets tight and there is ALOT of silt. Cavern is fairly large. Viz was pretty good even with traffic. Theres a few spaces to crawl/swim through near bottom. Found some minor flow on right side if looking up from bottom. Maybe betwen 80-90 ft. Man who owns property is very nice. Well worth the money. $30.00 when I went. |

Omar, myself, Jeff, Jeremy and Jeremy’s wife Kimberly met at the Dayo shop at 8:00 a.m. yesterday. We headed off to Paradise Springs for the day. We arrived around 10:30 a.m. and there were only 2 other dives there. We ended up having the entire place to ourselves as no other divers showed up and they other two guys left soon after us arriving. They didn’t silt it up either!
Omar and Jeremy had never been there and were very excited to check it out. Our first dive was about 50 minutes. We dropped all the way down to the grim reaper sign and circled around the area. We spent most of the dive in the shallower portion around 50-60 feet.
I was using my side mount setup and trying to get more comfortable in it. I still need a lot of practice in it, my buoyancy is far from perfect in it still. I practiced running the line a bit as well. The guys told me I didn’t silt the place up while doing it so that was a good sign!
During our surface interval I inflated my drysuit almost completely and used my nomad fully inflated as a pillow and floated on the surface. I almost fell asleep it was so peaceful!
The second dive went just as great. Temps were the standard 74 degrees. |

Arrived around noon. We were the only divers there. Vis was great you could see everything even at a depth of 100ft. I highly recommend this site. There was no flow to speak of when we dove. The rooms are huge. Bring a good light and don't go past the sign unless cave certified. |

Got there at 9:30. We were the first team in the water, but due to equipment malfunctions after the S-drill, some open water divers got in before us and mucked up the visibility pretty fast. This place can have awesome viz, just make sure you're in the water first. Did two nice cavern dives down to the sign and back. I love this place, and would reccomend it highly. Be careful of the silt though! It gets nasty quickly. |

Very interesting dive! I live about 10 minutes from the site. Decent line installed that will lead down to about 100' foot level and it is tied off there. Very large cavern area to explore, if entering the cave it is a minor restriction and leads down to atleast 140' as far as I know, I believe it goes further but we already had acquired some deco and it was time to turn the dive. Next time we go we will check it out again and see if it goes any deeper. Just inside of the cave there is a grave placed for someone who died in the cave a couple years ago. Site can be silted out very easily if there are any open water divers that do not have proper form. Dive platforms for doing deco if you wish. Very easy access to water, bring your own stuff and don't expect alot of "commodities". Very nice owners, you will watch the safety vid in their garage. |

Fun dive. First time here. Nice, natural looking site. Basin is quite small, and overall the place can get silty in a hurry. Cave goes nowhere. I got to 131ft before I decided to turn around. Gets a bit tight for backmount after that. |
