Can anyone recommend a guide who would lead several tec certified divers in a trip through Buford Sink?

Tec certified but not cave certified? If you don't have the cave certification, you'll need a certified cave *instructor* to be your guide (basically up-levelling you by one, since that's what they would be doing if they were actually instructing you).
There is a permanent guideline installed. Starts around 135' tied to a cinder block.I don't think that Buford wouldn't qualify as an Intro/Apprentice level cave.
Granted things change daily and I often only find out about line changes by running into them. But as far as I know there is no permanent guideline in Buford. I don't think much of the cave is above 130ft depth limit.
It is probably the prettiest cavern dives in the US. It is a very scenic spot and I enjoy decoing on the 20' ledge watching the free divers do their thing.The cavern would be our plan. Maybe a guide is unnecessary, but it’s nice to have someone familiar with a new site, especially one back in a swamp.
Any leads are appreciated.
