Is there ever a chance these rules will change?

Why would you ask that? Perhaps because the park "closes at sunset," and in the summertime sunset is almost 9pm? :smt102

The only certainty is change ;)

I have no idea really, I'm just a fellow diver. That's up to the park or state, I suppose. I'd love to see all three change, but am glad for the opportunity to dive it all.

Our park rangers there are very diver friendly, and we're quite lucky to have such easy access to such a beautiful system.

Dive safe and have fun!

Anyone else have any luck making an on line purchase? I'm heading to Peacock next weekend and wanted to get this done ahead of time.
Thanks,

Usually you can purchase one at Peacock from the ranger. Bring cash because the credit machine is not on sight and cash is readily accepted everywhere.

Jus t to pass this along starts this year.

Effective July 1, 2010 the Florida Park Service shall provide discounts on the purchase of Annual Entrance Passes to persons who present satisfactory written documentation which demonstrates their eligibility:

25% discount on Annual Entrance Passes for active duty and honorably discharged veterans of the United States Armed Forces, National Guard or reserve units of the U.S. Armed Forces or National Guard who present proof of eligibility.

Satisfactory written documentation to prove eligibility includes:

Current military identification card showing the bearer as active duty, reserve or retired member of a branch of the Department of Defense, or
Personal identification (i.e.: driver license) and
Most recent DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, showing the named individual’s Character of Service as Honorable, or
Other current official documentation from the Department of Defense, or one of its branches, naming the bearer as active duty, reserve, veteran or retired military

I qualify but just purchased my annual pass last month. Oh well, next year will come soon enough.

Hopefully the Coast Guard also qualifies, which is actually Dept. of Homeland Security.
