Many of you have followed and promoted the efforts of the Woodville Karst Plain Project over the years and I wanted to communicate information regarding the upcoming traverse from Turner Sink to Wakulla Springs scheduled for December 15. The linked press release provides background on the WKPP along with the dive plan for the traverse. Entering at Turner Sink and traveling 7 miles underground before surfacing at Wakulla Springs is not only an incredible diving adventure given the depth and distance, but it is also very symbolic because it clearly illustrates a physical connection between a seemingly isolated sinkhole in northern Wakulla county and the incredible environmental and cultural resource that is Wakulla Springs. Given the current and future focus on water issues for Wakulla County, Leon County and the state of Florida, this dive should be of interest to divers and non-divers alike and will likely generate increased awareness about the water flowing beneath the surface all across Florida.

Please let me know if you have any questions or require further information.
