Little river closing

[shellmoundal]

I just spoke to Parks and Recreation and LR will be closing today, Monday December 14, 2015.
With all the posting on the way everyone was suggesting the locking system we came up with a simple plan.
The contractor will leave the gate open when he starts in the morning. There will be no need to lock the gate behind you if you leave while the construction is still going on. If when you have completed your dive the contractor has left, then the gate must be locked by you before you leave the park.
The rules still apply for no diving at night from the park entrance.
The local dive shops, Amigo's, Cave Country, Dive Outpost, Cave Excursion, and Extreme Exposure, will all have the combination lock number for those who will be diving if the contractor is not working.
WARNING::::::::::::::: The lock Bracket weighs 40 lbs. If you do not hold it while unlocking you can be injured. Make sure that if you have to unlock it that you have someone hat can handle the locking system.
The gate must be locked at dusk and no diving after dusk.
They have been most cooperative to allow us to be able to dive during this time. Please follow these simple instructions so others will be able to enjoy Little River during the time it will be closed.
The only question should be the number of the combination lock and the dive shops will give that to you.
1. Lock the gate behind you if the contractor is not there.
2. No diving at night.
3. Must be Full Cave Certified
4. Instructors will be allowed to have a class during the construction.
Have a safe and wonderful dive.

Good post compared to was I was expecting to read by the title... hope everyone can follow some simple rules so that I can dive this one day. Thanks Al.

Thanks Al!

Thanks Al,

One question though, why limit it to full cave only?

There are some responsible intro divers out there. It seems unfair to them. I don't see why that would be in place other than maybe an attempt to limit the number of divers there?

Not my decision. This was done by the park authority. Sorry.

Come on seriously? Did you not see the derail on the otger thread about how to lock a fence. Why cant everyone just smile, say thanks, and move along.

We're lucky the park is letting anybody dive it. Divers have already proven in this whole construction thing to screw stuff up.

I'm guessing they don't want OW divers and swimmers, just full cave divers. As in "real" cave divers.
Why the heck would it matter if anyone dives to sixths or to thirds, does jumps or not?

Again, The park is closed to everyone other than "FULL CAVE DIVERS". Might have been a lot easier to just have it closed to everyone until the construction is completed. Thank you Suwanee County for allowing us to use your facility during construction. This is from every Full Cave Diver.

Thanks again Al for expending energy on this, and helping us keep access.
