    Default How do you cave dive?

    We are finally close to having our (Huth and Morgan) paper on the demand for diving Wakulla accepted for publication in the journal Marine Resource Economics, right now just dealing with some reviewer issues and this poll and another that will be up shortly will help in crafting a response to a reviewer. What we are interested in finding out is information about caves that you select to dive when traveling to cave country for a mutiday dive trip (if you live locally please don't answer). Thanks and when the paper is formally accepted I will post a link to it here.

    After spending 15 hours in the truck on the way down there, I dont want to spend more than an hour driving from cave to cave.

    many within an hour. the only time they require a longer drive than that is if something ridiculous happens and we have to scramble for another site

    What are the implications? Is someone working on getting it open?

    I think there's always someone working on getting it open...we are just measuring some of the economic aspects were it to be opened to recreational diving. Bill

    15 hours of driving gets me 60% of the way from home to Luraville. So I feel compelled to stay long enough to make the drive worthwhile!

    Leaving Saturday morning!
