    Eric has the place on lockdown via the single issued permit with the Forestry service guys at the park.

    I attempted to offer assistance to him and his team, but apparently they have enough support for their "project". As such, there is no way to access it by land.

    Just thank them for their hard work. Spending 20+ years trying to finish a map under a mapping permit for a cave which is that short has to be frustrating.

    I did find a blog post, which shoes they're still hard at work.

    Good to see the fragile system being protected for those exclusive species of giant shrimp and crayfish. Conservation looks like the main objective in the photo, once you get past all the Mares logos.

    Either way, back on track....

    Anyone with any more details on Silver Springs and it's use for divers?

    Isn't that a "giant shrimp" in the pic?
