    Default Waterhole sink at Peacock

    I talked to park management,and they have granted access to this sink for entrance and egress,with the understanding that the branches may be an entanglement hazard. Hope this helps. NFSA

    I never knew it not to be an entry / exit point. I have entered it several times over the years. It is a great dive.

    Is duckweed a protected plant? Ive thought of scooping it off the surface with a pool skimming net for a better look at waterhole since its so small it could be done in a few minutes but figured it may not go over too big being a park and all. Would make entry alot easier though.

    Its actually listed as edible in a Florida survival manual of mine. I was wondering if entry is permitted it might get sloppy around the edge but Im thinking not many will be going in there so I guess well wait and see. Maybe spread the rumour of the moccasin that lurks in its twisted submerged branches?

    It's against the rules, might even be a law, to remove any vegitation from a state park.

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    Oh I wasent gonna leave the park with it, only lay it on the bank. However if it impedes the growth of submerged algae as Forrest stated then its a good thing. Indigeous or not.

    Just look at what happened to 40 Fathom when they first removed it.
    I barely could see my hand in front of my face because of all the green.
