I don't know about the others, but Litle Dismal and Big Dismal are in the
Appalachicola National Forest near Tallahassee. They are near each other, but
not connected. Both go deep. Big Dismal is connected to Leon Sinks as of last
Saturday. Both are excellent dives, but are off limits, other than to WKPP and
FSU, and FSU just does sinkhole archeology. WKPP is also working all of the
caves in this forest under ongoing permit to explore.
These are generally logisticly difficult dives requiring gear to be moved
down a 100 foot series of cliffs to the water, and then supported on a floating
dock. We are required to have all kinds of safety measures in place as well.
The
dives are well worth it - Big D has giant passage and is still largely
unexplored in the deep conduits. Little D is more of a visual experience -
white
walls , huge rooms, etc. Most Tallahassee cave looks like this.
Access to the good stuff is the reward for actually doing something
productive with this sport.
