Interesting story to bad the well is off limits only to those with permit.
I hope and pray that the bodies will be recovered and families find peace.
Dare I say looks like a interesting place to dive.
Anyone dive it back in the day?

"The well"? Is that Jacob's well, in TX?
Correct.
There have been numerous posts on this forum over the years about Jacob's Well, including one by Mr. Exley. I do not recall the date, but perhaps Forrest will know it. There have been acurate accounts of diving this spot as being one of dangerous & not worth the risks involved {Why bother doing it ?} Maps have also been posted on here, & this is not one place i would care to poke my head into. Florida is not that far from Texas, & the caves down here are all well lined & governed for the caving community at large. I mean why chance having an accident in the first place....this is why it is posted: No Trespassing !
Did I miss something?? Like maybe 10 years?? They say he went missing 21 years ago...in 1979!!!
They found skeletal remains back past the 4th chamber in Jacob's Well. They still haven't located a skull so no positive identification. They also state they think they might find some more bodies in there from people who were sneak diving and never reported going there.
It's still actively being dived now.

I don't think so. It was closed 2 years ago when I was in TX, and I haven't heard any different on the TX forum.
Survey to EOL was finished something like a month ago.
People are diving without telling you first! Oh noes!
