Tallahassee Area Caves

[Manatee Diver]

Headed up to Marianna today, stopped at Wakulla Springs park and Emerald on the way there. It wasn't the easiest to find, but it wasn't hard to find. And the access is pretty easy. I am going to definitely have to dive it the next year.

I am guessing that since there appears to be no river access, that it is like Eagles or Buford where the vis is largely dependent on local rain fall?

Emerald (and the rest of Leon Sinks) is strongly influenced by rain. There are a few sinking streams that funnel groundwater into the system, plus the 26+ other sinkholes all bring in particulate during and after rainfall.

Emerald is one of the first to clear, though.
