    Default Solo diving sites

    At the risk of falling into a discussion of whether to solo dive or not: I would like a list of the sites you guys and gals know that allow solo diving. There are the obvious (ginnie, little river, JB) but I would love to hear of some others.

    Thanks

    BTW I searched but couldn't find a list, probably just missed it.

    I would say pretty much any of them that aren't part of a state park system.

    As others said you can solo dive at most Florida caves. It would be better to just list those that do not allow it.
    Here are the only caves where I know the site access prohibits solo diving.
    Peacock State Park
    Manatee SP
    Madison Blue SP
    Hart (Black Lagoon) Not sure about the spring
    Emerald Sink
    Indian Spring
    Dipolder I & II
    Alachua Sink
    Not Sure about Cow, Cathedral, School Sink, or Morgan.

    making a parallel to another topic - does it mean that buddies were watching a team member dropping condoms at no solo site? To me LR or Telford is much better site despite catheters contamination when I recall that it doesn't restrict me from enjoyment what and how I like to do it wearing those...

    Buddy or no You can't buy class and can't teach class to the classless. It is also true that the most important lessons in life are taught to you by Momma and your kindergarden teacher.

    Just curious about Ginnie. The diving rules on their website seem to make no mention of solo diving at all. I assume that to mean that it's *not prohibited*. But I wonder if it means they can exercise "discretion" in allowing solo divers... (ie. restrict the practice only to "full cave" divers even if there's no solid rule). The rules, at times, also refer to "Certified cavern and/or cave divers." I'm wondering if "cave divers" in the context of those rules mean "full cave" only, or include "Intro and Apprentice" levels as well. I really don't know, because I've never dived Devils without my instructor present.

    Not that I will be diving solo in any cave anytime soon, until after full cave, and after I get some experience "Diving with AL."

    Ooh, ooh, another Dipolder? Seriously though, why is there a II and III, but no I?
