Bill, not the clearest question. I said both but I didn't mean both contiguously. I would do either but rarely both in one trip.
Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum - Cave Diving Resource.
Just the Marianna area
Just the High Springs area
Both

I usually stay at Dive Oupost.
Cathy has cottages, or bunk beds depending on your budget.
High Springs is about 45 minutes away from Ginnie. So if you get an early start its easy to use Luraville as home base.
From Luraville 30 minutes to Little River. So once again using Luraville as home base.
Marianna dives I would not combine with Peacock/Ginnie/Little River if you only have 3-4 days.
Dive Outpost has bank Nitrox if diving OC (booster on site if using CC) and is minutes away from Peacock. so its pretty easy to get 2 dives a day.
Plus for night dives there is Cow Spring just down the road from Dive Outpost.
If adventerous you can always do a river swim to Telford also minutes away from Dive Outpost.
Marianna is a large hign flow system and can be swam but has a lot more cave to offer if you are using DPV. Depths similiar to Ginnie so you rackup deco pretty fast.
Hope This helps

I couldn't answer the question. I have done trips where we did both areas on the same trip, and I have done trips where I have done one area -- but I've done both High Springs and the Mill Pond as single destination trips. That doesn't fit into your poll.
Yes the question needs to be developed into more of a survey. Actually based on these results and a little more thought it would be intersting to explore the segmenting factors that everyone is mentioning. This is sort of a non-market/experiential consumption bundled good question where in some situations the caves are substitutes and in others they are compliments.

Your survey is riddled with bias, and therefore useless. Not once did you mention the Tampa or Tallahassee areas!
I mean who would want to waste time with Ginnie or JB when there is always Wayne's World and Harvey's ?
