northwest Pasco county, Florida was closed to diving.  The property surrounding
it is up for sale and the current owner(s) apparently do not want any diving
activities going on during this time.  Whether it will be reopened to diving in
the future is hard to say right now.

which is located about 3 miles south of Arch Sink, was closed to diving.  I
have heard a rumor as to why it closed, but since I have not confirmed it, I
decline to comment on it.

anyone who has thoughts of diving it in the near future are in for a
disappointment.
