new caves to dive?

Why Buford and not Eagles Next. Are you guys Full Cave? Sites make a differnce on that. If you have 100 full cave dives you can do DiPolder, Alachua, Hart Spring. Emerald might be good right now. Cindy Butler

Yes, we are full cave and trimix.
We never ordered our Abe Davis or Wakula Award. How should we manage to get in a site that require that kind of credentials if we dont have the award in hand? We already dove Cow by showing log book but it was easy because the persons who were taking care of the access knew us for a long time.

We were planning on doing Die Polder but the guide we were planning to use (that we know) have a class during the week we are planning to get down. We need to get in touch with another guide. What are generaly the cost for 2 divers to get a guided cave dive in Die Polder?

I'm not saying Buford isn't cool but you are in the area of one of the most fantastic caves in the world, Eagles nest. Buford may be pretty but it's still a cavern that requires a "heck of a lot of work" to get into. I have always thought every cave has it's own attraction, I just couldn't understand the ommission of the nest. I was really wanting to know if something was going on I don't know about ie bad vis, entry problems etc. Cindy

Cindy, Just did Eagles Nest yesterday. Had a great dive, basin is nice and clear (except for the pond scum) and the vis in the system was excellent, especially once we got to the Super Room. While on deco a couple of OW guys came in and went down to the top of the cone and 'played around' for a while. Have a feeling the conditions may have 'deteriorated a bit' after that.

I dont think most guides charge, at least the people i've been with havent, just the $25 for the boyscoutts entry and maybe $2 for something. There are a bunch of guides you can try and call to schedule a trip out there, very cool dives. I didnt mean to omit the nest, just saw that in your origional post and i stand by Buford as a cool dive for many reasons so if your in that area for a day diving the nest check it out!

Enjoy your diving!

BTW FWIW, he mentioned EN in his OP

You guys throw me with the intitials. I'm sure though that everyone knew that but me!
