    Default Clearcut now open for diving

    The Emerald Sink Advisory panel and Wakulla Springs park management have worked together to get this site open. Same dive process as Emerald apply. You will see new forms posted soon.
    Thank you

    There's goldline from Clearcut to Promise already, I'm guessing its still in good shape. I haven't been in it since earlier this year when we put it in.

    I know there were steps being designed for ClearCut, are those still happenin or are we just jumping in(which I'm fine with)?



    Glad Clearcut is finally open, I really think the restrictions there are pretty well unnecessary though. I'm scheduled to dive it on the 2nd.

    Awesome... what's Clearcut?

    Seriously though, can someone put together a description and picture and send it over to Walter?

    It's an entry point into the longest underwater cave in the US (Leon/Wakulla). As an FYI, this is now the second site opened that the park owns in recent times.
    Anyways, here's a map.



    I'm fairly sure this is a photo just south of clearcut at a site that's not open to the public for entry, but I believe you can easily swim there from clear cut.



    Here's the qualification procedure. Really all that you have to show is that you have experience and certifications in the depth range of this cave. Very reasonable, IMO.

    That is the qualifications for Emerald. If I need trimix to dive in at clearcut I guess I will keep diving at cream and scooter to clearcut... Last I was in Clearcut the viz was measured in inches but that was early November.

    publicly stating you'll sneak dive to get there will do wonders to keep this open and open new sites I'm sure...
