Lafayette Blue/AKA: Green Sink Cave System
Got a chance to jump into this system (off park property since NO solo diving is allowed in State Parks) yesterday evening.
Conditions were approx 15-20ft vis with what I would call moderate flow.
This system isn't for everybody, I understand that with the typical low vis and a somewhat challenging entry point, but for the people that are diving the NFL caves alot and want something a little different, come on out to the State Park and giver a try.
Annual park passes are honored for your diving and we have "walk-in" tent camping for $10/nite.

Thanks for the report Mike. There are many interesting features to this cave system,but much of it is obscured by the poor visibility. Last check we did a lot to make sure the lines were in good condition and off the floor in some areas between the park entrance and Trap sink. I would be cautious in side passages or areas where there is original survey line since sections may be burried due to the long period it was nondivable due to the flooding from hurricanes. Flow in the cave system due to reduced visibility can be deceptive. I have ridden what felt as being a weak syphon to the river in 20 minutes,but needed 45 minutes to get back upstream to my original starting point.
