    Default 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?

    Yes, a one time use.

    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...

    Well I am sure I have paid $300 for a dive before but let's see... I get a long boat ride, sometimes even a bunk, I get a crew who drags my scooter back in the boat for me, I get a big fill of helium..... sometimes they might even fill it for me....and sometimes I even get food as well... not to mention drinks on the boat...

    what is included in the $300 cave dive??

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

    So many caves, so little time. I'll spend my time and money diving caves that do not cost $300.
