I remember going up river years ago with Jim Hollis, I believe it was 97, to Troy Springs. It too was a state park. I asked him about it being opened to the public. He told me once upon a time it was, littered with hundreds of people and trash. Then when some laws came into play it was closed, .. .i.e. requiring restrooms.
When they did open it, it was no longer divable. The river was blocked off. Weekends, summer and after school hours there would be dozens of kids diving off the small plateform.
It sounds like, if Wakulla is opened to diving. It will only be opened for certified cave divers. No others will be allowed. This may make it difficult to obtain funding to comply with requirements.
