Safety Considerations
Mild temps (14-22°C) but springs create thermal layers shocking divers; ascend slowly. Low boat traffic, but flag required. Altitude 550 meters mandates ZHL-16C alt algorithms. Therapeutic minerals aid post-dive recovery yet irritate eyes sans mask seal. PADI buoyancy workshops advised. Weather shifts fast; use Windy app. Preserve springs per Leave No Trace.
