EDWARD BALL WAKULLA SPRINGS STATE PARK WILL OFFER TWO NEW SINKS TO BE AVAILABLE TO QUALIFIED AND CERTIFIED CAVE DIVERS.
After acquisition of the 717 acre Ferrell tract, Wakulla state park has two sinks that will be made available for qualified recreational cave divers in spring. The park has several goals to reach before reopening the parcel to the public. Among them are a split rail fence to border parking areas, kiosk installation, iron ranger installation, directional signage, and additional support structures as needed, i.e., dive bench or platform/stairs.
This a great opportunity for CDS membership involvement and get to experience two new dive sites. We also will be seeking funds to budget the work. We will determine times and details once we have volunteers and materials in place.
If you would like to volunteer or contribute to the material fund, please contact me, Terry DeRouin at programdirector@nsscds.org or 404-680-3694.
To quote the park management, “we would love to continue to work with the dive community while we add opportunities to ensure that we are meeting the needs of our user groups.”
Many more details to follow.
Let me emphasize, these sinks ARE NOT OPEN and accessible yet. Please do not attempt access and ruin the progress we’ve made. It will be happening soon.
