Closed. It's a permit site.
I hold the permit for this site. I do biota inventories and water quality surveys for the GA DNR on a quarterly basis. Infrequently,I will get video and photo shot in there for species documentation and also public awareness of their resource, so you will see some on Facebook and Youtube from time to time. This is a very fragile cave with a lot of sand in the limestone,so pieces break very easily in there. This system, and a couple in the surrounding area will blow out very quickly with local rains. I am more than happy to answer specific questions if you PM me.
What's the asking price? I'm willing to go as high as $300. Also have a older Nomad Sidemount system to trade.
Somehow, I think you are responding to the wrong thread. Not to mention this thread is in the wrong forum.Quote:

I see that you are a diver in this video Kelly and I would take it you are the guy in the steels up front and not the dude with the damn near vertical aluminum tanks and emergency back gas tank. :)

When I get my intro done, PLEASEEEEEE let me do a dive with you. Of course we can do some "introductory" dives in other systems so that you can see if I would wreck the system, doubt I would. Getting Cavern/Intro done in Feb. :)
Not to be Debbie downer,but this dive falls in the category of full cave. Has quite a few small areas that are very silty,including the very fragile nature of the place. Research oriented dives where data collection is occurring requires a lot of stopping and documentation, and can be a slow and tedious process ,with no time to site see. I welcome people assisting when we have the opportunity to do data collection there,but it means following a specific plan,because we only get one shot to get it right, since the visibility will be significantly reduced and another attempt is not immediately possible. Thank you for the interestQuote:

Looking to build a canal. Need a sponsor.
There are underwater caves in GA?
Actually the limestone and Floridan aquifer end at the Georgia/Florida line.Quote:

Not at all bud. I can appreciate what you are saying. I will get back with ya on this one once I have my full cave and a good number of dives. :)Quote:
