    Default Cave Connections? - - New Dive Shop in Tally?

    I heard there was a new dive shop in Tally-- are they open yet? Being able to get quick trimix fills will be a HUGE plus, has anyone tried that?

    I know they are still moving inventory into the shop, but I believe they are able to pump gas already! The guys running the place are top notch and I think there will finally be a headache free cave diver shop in the area.

    Awesome location, 3min from Wakulla and not much further from Emerald, Indian, Clearcut, Church, Harveys, etc. I can't wait to check this place out, could be a game changer for those of us coming from Orlando who had to get all our gas in High Springs before

    For one, WDC is in Medart, near the coast, not on the way to anything. Two, it can be such a PITA to get fills there if you don't have fresh VIPS, hydros, and barcodes. Luckily for them, the biggest headache employee they had went off to school.

    What can I say, I've been spoiled by cave shops to the point where I don't want to deal with recreational shops and all of their scuba industry standards.

    I'm also looking forward to being able to get fills without driving 45 minutes each way.

    Also on their website they have a "Guided Dives" section, where do they plan on guiding dives next to Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park? Almost all the caves in the area are closed off. Are they a GUE/WKPP shop? That would be the only way I would see them being able to guide dives in anything other than Clear Cut or Emerald.
    What do you have against the new dive shop?

    Shouldn't you relish at the idea of some new blood in the area working on getting sites opened?

    By people who have been there for years and are diving it consistently, do you mean Gregg? He's boycotted Emerald and Indian for years ontop of years because he can't dive there without a guide or with a rebreather.

    Last I heard, the only helium available in a Wakulla County dive shop was Cave Connections. When I asked about Trimix at WDC the last time I was in there, about a month ago, I was told it'd be three months by NorthWoodsDiver. Indian is opening well before that(although I'm not sure if its worth diving ATM?).
