Dive Sally Ward
Suppose that you could do a cave dive into Sally Ward (aka Numero Uno). That dive would be a guided staged swim to the balcony and then a circuit around the cube room. Further, the dive requires that you purchase a license to do it. Would you be willing to pay $300 for the license to do the dive?

Would this be a "one time use" license?

For me $300 is a little steep. I'm more in the $200 range and if I did it I'd want to make sure that it was a fairly long CCR dive. Same goes for the same question about Wakulla.

Again, not just 'No'...but 'Hell No!'
For the same reasons I wouldn't do it at Wakulla...

Why pay to dive a site that tax money pay for?
I have a state park pass... that's all that should be needed...

There are several reasons why especially if your activity imposes additional cost, resource degradation, etc. For example your park pass will get you into florida caverns state park at marianna but you will have to pay an additional fee if you want to be guided through the dry cave.

My State Park Pass will also let me dive at Emerald Sink, which is on the Wakulla Springs Park property.

I agree that my state park pass should be the only fee to dive the site. What resources are needed? An iron ranger, a port-a-pottie and a trash can. Divers can donate lumber for a tank rack or picnic table. And forget the guided thing altogether.
My taxes are going up, the benefits are going down and you want me to pay $300 to do one dive in a cave that I already own
