Take I-10W from Jacksonville, take I-75S toward Tampa. Exit 82 (Lake
City). Turn left off the ramp, take a left on Pinemont Road, Rt. 252, just
before Chevron station. Stay on Rt. 252 until it ends (about 15 miles). Take a
right onto Rt. 129. About 1 mile, turn left back onto Rt. 252. Stay on Rt. 252
until a stop sign and Citco gas station. Take left and continue until stop

Outpost. Continue straight for approximately 3-4 miles until you see a church
on the left. Take a right onto the dirt road. Continue until the road forks,
and take the right. Keep an eye to the left and look for a dirt path leading
into the woods. There will be no sign and it doesn't look like anything there,
but it is.
Description
Sinkhole depression, with depths in the cavern zone between
40'-50'. Cool cave walls and fallen tree trunks. There is not to far to go in
to the cave until all surface light is lost and the permanent line begins.
You must be Cave or Cavern certified to use this sight!! Always
remember to never dive beyond your level of training. The cave
zone is not large, but has incredible rock outcroppings. The tunnel gets
narrower and becomes a sidemount dive after that.
