Dive Sally Ward

Why pay $300 for a dive that anybody who knows where the sight is can do at 2:00 am?

Your data will be skewed mainly because of the history of the restrictions to dive the sites in the area you chose.

The fact that you want to pile all this data together and show state officials what you think is accurate data is not a good idea for getting access to the locations you desire.

The data may sound good on paper (people will pay $300 to dive a hole in the ground) but when reality comes into play, only a few will pay that price and that price will be a one time payment... Thus within the first 6 months of having the site "open" via this 'license', it will stop generating income.

The real way to open public lands is to be unified and work together to get it open in the same manner we have gotten the other state owned sites opened recently. Persistance and showing that there are a lot of voters and constiuients that desire to have the sites open.

The problem lately with a lot of the sites in that area is that the state has people coming at them from 12 different angles, all with no support numbers behind any of them. Your suggestions would simply be another one added to the pile...

Maybe one day we can get all the cavedivers to work together on one front, the front of getting state owned sites opened to those who pay/vote for those that make the decisions.

So what's the rate for a guided sneak dive? It sounds fun...

If you just pay the bond yourself you get it back later... After the trial.

I don't mind a nominal park admission fee - like $5 or $10 but why should I pay a premium to use what already belongs to the tax payers? Why don't they charge $300. to swim at a state beach?

Of course all of this is moot because at the rate the economy is tanking people won't be able to pay the parking fees, let alone $300.

Actually, the notion of the government attempting to profiteer and price gouge from it's control over a natural resource is quite offensive to me as is the fact that state lands and waters are off limits for no reason other than some bureaucrats aversion to work....ie -lets close and then we don't have to deal with it.

I am all for asking the state nicely in court to remove the fence that runs across the Wakulla river.
