The Ballroom at Ginnie Springs

The Ginnie Springs basin is a large, bowl-shaped depression measuring over 100 feet across and 15 feet deep. A 150-foot-long run connects the basin to the nearby Santa Fe River. The chief attraction here is the Ginnie Cavern, whose wide, open entrance can be found at the bottom of the basin.

Certified divers of all experience levels may take lights into the water with them at Ginnie Springs and use these lights to explore the underwater cavern. The cavern’s upper room is illuminated by light from the entrance. Looking back toward the entrance from this room provides a breathtaking view. Like most of the cavern, the upper room’s walls are composed of an extremely light and highly reflective limestone, which adds to its natural beauty.

Since we have taken students there over the years, the pictures here are from various years.
