Part of my cave diving instruction, as an outsider, was that diving caves in N. Fla is not a right, it is a hard won (and not by me) privilege. I get to partake of the goodies, though. Tread gently and with respect.
Landowners get pissed cleaning up unwelcome messes until they close access to their private property, the state has too little funding to keep lesser sites open, and "secret" sites can be closed instantly by one untimely accident. There is one exception, pay to dive at Ginnie, -Dutch Springs south.
Britton's cavalier attitude is what rankles, mess up diving and move on, no loss to her. The more I think about it the more it pisses me off. No buy-in, just take.
Join the NFSA, do some volunteer time, mix with the locals and it will all start to make sense. Sure as hell did for me.
