How Long?

[FW]

Personally, I take every opportunity to dive somewhere new. However, many "known" caves are not "known" to the general cave diving population.

Marci and I will be down in N FL April 3-9 and would welcome any opportunity to be introduced to less known and less visited caves.

The internet is at your fingertips, there's a ton of info already on the lesser known places flying about online.

tampadiving.com is a good start. A good clue is sites that have recent condition reports. If there are none, the sites may be difficult to access. Some may have landowner issues, others need a boat, etc. If you aren't willing to gamble, then you may as well stick with the popular pay-as-you-go sites

I think some people don't post reports just so the sites aren't 'outted'.

The saving grace for those willing to put the time in.

I usually post reports there on the way home from a trip (aircards are great), but I've noted it is underutilized as it's not uncommon to see few reports in the last few months.

It's not quite like learning to dive on the internet, but it's close.

Going with someone/or getting detailed instructions from a real person helps in terms of finding the sites, accessing the sites and getting information on line conditions, locations, what to expect, etc.

If you want it all handed to you, stick to the parks.


If you don't have time to waste, enjoy the adventure of going to see for yourself(possibly nothing), and the hassle of possibly having to run your own line(as the lesser dived sites can be expected to have broken lines, and ill placed line, or none at all - but I haven't been that lucky yet); stick to the "known by the general cave diving population" caves.


Its nothing at all like diving on the internet, when you're ready to get your hands dirty, you may find that out

If its blue, its probably shallow, go for black.
