How do you cave dive II
This question is directed to anyone that plans several day (3 days or so) dive trips. When considering the Marianna and High Springs areas how do you plan your trip?

I think about where I want to dive, where's a good place to consider home for a couple nights, and go...?
I'm sure thats not what your looking for specifically, so what do you mean by "how do you plan your trip?".
Ever surprised by the amount of holes involved in cave diving.
Last time, we went to Luraville and rented one of the awesome trailers from Cave excursions. We hit all the hot spots there, and then on the wat back home to St. Louis, we stopped off and rented the trailer from Edd for a night.
I voted for High Springs area because Luraville wasnt an option, and we spent 6 days hitting Peacock, Madison, Ginnie, etc and then hit Marianna for 2 days before heading home.
Insert something witty and creative here_________________________.
Originally I was going to ask about all three to see if both peacock and ginnie were the same or different but that had to many combinations for a quick poll.Originally Posted by deepdiverbob

Your thinking about where i want to dive. Do you consider marianna vs ginne and then choose one or do you consider marianna and ginnie together?

If it is a quick trip (3-4 daysof diving) i will do one or the other depending on differant factors at the time (work, family, what systems are blown out). If I am planning a week long (6 days of divingor longer) I will try to work my way across the state and hit all the major areas.

Same here....3-4 days of diving, probably all of it will be with 90-120 minutes of where we sleep (usually Luraville). With 5-7 days of diving, we will probably dive both the High springs/Luraville area and the Marianna area.
I selected both, but its probably not 100% accurate for the purposes of your poll.
Home base is always Dive Outpost, but we usually get out to Marianna for a day or two on a trip.

Personally I consider Luraville and HS to be the same area. If I am in one, I will go to the other w/o a second thought. As I live in Melbourne, FL, I am only 3 or 4 hours away, and would consider this my local cave dive area. Does that qualify me as local?
If I was to go away for several days, I would go to the Marrianna area, or the Luraville/HS area, but not both.
If I was to make a week of it, I might visit both.
If I had more time, I would go to the Bahamas or Mexico for a week, then go to No FL for the remaining days.
If I was really well off, and had a month, then I'd let my wife know where I was going when I got there and everyone else could read about it when I got home.
If I never had to work again, I'd probably be in a convalescent home and wouldn't care much about diving anyway.
