It's called Alachua sink (it's real name is Mill Creek Sink, but nobody calls it that). It is owned and maintained by the NSS-CDS. It is on a guide system and there are about half a dozen guides to the system that dive it regularly.

It is an advanced cave site, requiring trimix for the depths and AbeDavis or equivalent (100+ cave dives/hours). From what I hear right now the vis is quite excellent (80'+).

If you are qualified and still interested, contact Wyane Kinard at Cave Excursions East (386-454-7511) or Cindy Butler (CButler on this forum).
