    Default Scooterable Florida Caves

    Just curious: Which "scooterable" Florida caves can you take a scooter (DPV) into these days without a state research permit?

    Jackson Blue, Manatee, Little river, no permit.

    Devil's Eye you need a DPV card.

    Hhehehhehehe, how do you apply for one of those and how many "research scientists" do you need?

    Dive safe,

    PS You can also scooter Eagle's Nest, Indian (I believe...) Morgan (if you really want to), Telford, and I am sure there are others. Now, are you talking State Parks or Fla caves in general?

    You need to do 3 swim dives in Indian before you can scooter it.

    You also can scooter with an Abe Davis at Ginnie. If someone is not sure ask for Rose.

    I think that is applicable to certifications of 12/31/96 and earlier,any thing after needs a DPV card

    Default Ginnie

    Kelly that what I thought at first but according to Rose just an Abe Davis. A course is not a bad idea though and to practice the safety skills you may need sometime. ( Probably need is more like it )
