New Locations to Cavern Dive Please!

Buford is a great dive.... But you earn it. The hard work is one of the reasons the place is not trashed.

For Cavern, I like Buford, Ginnie, Paradise, and Kings Spring in Crystal River.

Like Mat said, Wakulla is likely blown out for a few weeks, if not longer. Even MMP looked murky when i drove by it this morning. the Chiploa rose 2 feet and is forecast to reach over 13 feet this weekend. If you're seriously interested in Intro, I have tanks with h-valves.

Rainbow River is an interesting drift dive with some small caverns.

I forgot to list that we have done

Rainbow River we found three tiny caverns
King Spring
Vortex

We have yet to visit Troy and Royal but I have heard they were not worth the trip.

Walter,

I went to the WCDC website, but I have not yet contacted WCDC, because it looked like you had to join before even learning what they are about. I think based on what I am hearing I need to join. Thank you for the info.

SSMDIVE where do you jump?

[Blackchains]

Matt or Walter,

What does membership in WCDC include. How long does it take to join? Do they send you a card or put you on a list, in other words could I join by next weekend just to scout the place out?

Its pretty much instant with paypal, we update the list with payment.

Gonna be around Saturday? We'll be clearing some downed trees on the trails to some of the sinks





Royal sucks as an OW/Cavern dive, and I don't say that about many places...

Troy, IMO, is worth checking out. Maybe not so much for the cavern, but for the OW shinanigans and the wreck found within the run.

If you have one or two friends that you are diving with, you might consider going in together on one doubles set up. Then you could at least take turns and get some dives with it until you're ready to buy more and take intro.

I would definitely try to be headed that direction in some fashion, it will open up many more options for you.

Thank for the input so far.

Belive me I live on Walter's site and I a have worn DeLoach's book out.

The Intro Class is a little more difficult.

We don't have doubles and want to purchase and become comfortable with them before we move forward with trainng.

There is the H valve option but again unless we buy tanks, this is difficult. Rental gear with H vavles has in my experiience so far been hard to find.

So for now we keep seeking out new caverns and go on the cheap. I do agree it is probably time to move on, I/we just need MONEY?

So having said that, can anyone recommend something new to visit, no cavern is to small, that just leave time for another dive.

Thanks again for your input!

A set of doubles sell for $350 on up for used. Sure your not just writing a book, or scamming for new cave? All that gas you guys have been burning means you must have some cash.
Either way I have a set of doubles or two I will either sell you cheap or you can use up some gas, come up and help me put up a new fence on the farm. Always work needing to be done around here. Cindy 386-454-8378 (For now!) my email is [email protected]

Cindy, do you have a set of 85s you want to get rid of?
