    Default Trips canceled due to caves closed

    I am curious how many times people have canceled or postponed trips to North Florida for cave diving or the last 6 months sense the caves have been closed so much off and on.

    There's always some caves open.

    Ginnie rarely ever closes. Jackson blue is same afaik.

    This year is exceptional in terms of closures

    This includes locals who canceled a day or weekend trip, as well.

    Having caves blown in September is unusual,but in reality this is a normal year,the expectional years were the periods of time that everything was open because of a prolonged drought. So many people have come into cave diving recently,and are used to diving anywhere,anytime,but that is highly unusual.

    Absolutely.

    I have not cancelled any trips. I just head to Ginnie or Manatee is others are blown. Although I dot really count mine as trips.

    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.

    I have not canceled a trip this year, and don't plan on it for the rest of the year. There is almost always something open. I'll just go dive what is open.
