The stretch between Promise Sink and and Clearcut is also shallow with large passage, multiple side passages, including circuits, passing through even more sinks and has a greater range of cave changes, especially between Venture and ClearCut. Emerald through Cheryl is shallow, great looking large passage, a few offshoots and a few sinks to traverse while doing so as well as the standard Emerald - Cheryl circuit.
Half of the above is on Wakulla State Park property, the other half is on National Forest property. Sullivan is also on National Forest property, and the upstream dive wouldn't be a bad dive for full cave divers with only a short dip to 140' before shallowing up again.
The National Forest also contains Big Dismal and Little Dismal(Hammock Sink). Big Dismal has alot of passage without being terribly deep. Little Dismal is goes deep fast, but with a succession of big rooms, so you don't have to go far to find something interesting.
Sally Ward and Wakulla Springs are both on Wakulla State Park property. Sally Ward wouldn't require a deep dive to enjoy the top of the Cube Room and the passage leading up to it. Wakulla is obviously very deep right away.
Other deep dives on Wakulla State Park property include the stretches from Emerald downstream to Clearcut(which leads to shallow passage), or branching off to MM Sink(which leads to FishHole) and eventually leads back downstream of Promise. Turner Sink puts you in the middle of deep Wakulla Passage.
Cherokee is a decent OW sinkhole on Wakulla State Park property.
There are more sites on park lands in the area like Natural Bridge State Park(full of sinkholes that connect by cave), State Forests, and National Wildlife Refuges. There are even more sites on private lands.
