    Default Dive Wakulla

    Suppose that you could do a guided cave dive into Wakulla Spring through the "Grand Canyon" and to the junction of Tunnel B...about a 1,100 penetration and a 270 foot max depth. Further, the dive requires that you purchase a "license" in addition to meeting appropriate qualifications.

    Would you be willing to pay $300 for the license required to do the dive?

    Would this be a one-use license, of would it be good for a specified period, such as a year?

    How about just dive the system from outside the spring itself?... For way cheaper.

    No, I wouldn't pay $300.

    Not just no, but hell no!

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love to dive Wakulla. But there's no way I'd pay $300 to do it, especially since it's owned by the State. And I flatly refuse to dive any cave that requires me to be 'guided.' Don't even get me started on that topic...

    Good one!

    Will they be charging the GUE guys $300 per dive?

    That's rhetorical... but since I went there, I'll tell you what - I'll pay $300 if they also charge the GUE guys. Hell, I'd pay it and not do the dive!

    Why pay to dive a site that tax money pay for?

    I have a state park pass... that's all that should be needed...

    I would easily pay $300.00 for an opportunity to be able to dive a system whose doors have been closed to me, especially since I am getting older and as the economy continues to sink deeper than the ocean itself.
