How Often Would You Visit Wakulla Springs for Diving?

[NorthWoodsDiver]

I'm working with the "Wakulla County Dive Club" in their mission to open Wakulla Springs to equal access diving. There will be a meeting in January (date to be announced) where public opinions and support will be necessary to prove that opening the Spring is economically viable.

This may be the first of several polls to try and get a better understanding of the feelings in the cave community.

What we would like to know is how often you, as an individual, would visit the spring for diving in a years time.

For now lets not be concerned with entrance fees or other park costs as a deterrent, as everything is still up for discussion.

Assume a "visit" as one day of diving, not a number of dives or a weekend of diving or something else.

Also don't assume it will only be open to cave diving or trimix. This poll is only a measure of diving so open water on up counts.

Please keep in mind with your answers, without a Trimix certification, you would be diving beyond your limits in the overhead - so Full Cave without Trimix would basically be diving OW in order to stay within your certification limits.

Should I assume they would allow RBs and DPVs? If so, the number will be different.

[SuPrBuGmAn]

For this poll, yes, assume DPVs and RBs.




Assume open diving within your certification limits.

Depends, can we stick this thing back in there?

I've seen the videos a few years back from the exploration of Wakulla. Looks like it would be worth the trip, even just for open water, shallow dive.

I answered assuming that CCRs would be allowed, as mentioned above. Also assuming that no guide would be required. If any of those items were to change, so would my response.

As far as this poll is concerned, no.




Outside of this poll.... I want everything available, but one step at a time.

Yeah, Edd and I were talking about it the other day. He said it was probably one of the coolest dives in the state.
