Buford Springs Saturday 11/8

[sadie199]

Anyone interested in hitting Buford Springs this Saturday? Looks like we're getting a small group together, will plan on meeting along the 19 around 9am (plans to be firmed up tomorrow), or meet at the park itself at bit later.

From what I've been told, it probably qualifies as an advanced dive, particularly given the hike to reach the springs itself is quite a ways from the parking area.

Be careful with hunting season being open!

So I've heard - we tossed around the idea of orange jackets!

Actually this was the reason for the slightly later start - hopefully most hunters will be out early morning or late afternoon, and we can avoid them.

yeah, that is how my buddy and I did it a few weeks ago. (waited for the hunters to leave) A little later start in the AM. I did spot two tree stands on the access road back to the spring so be careful. One was about half way down on the right and the second was at the end of the road on the left.
I have a CPR and O2 class Sat. AM or I would join you. Are you planning on doing Eagles Nest afterward??

Are you planning on doing Eagles Nest afterward??

Hopefully open water divers are not diving past their training and experience by venturing into Eagle's Nest....

If I was feeling better I would definitely join you. That sounds like a cool dive! Enjoy it and post some pics for me!

Buford Springs is more than an advanced dive, it's an advanced cavern dive. One should have the proper training to dive there. almtree: Bob

Sadie, did you ever make this dive?

When the details of the most recent double fatality become public, hopefully people will understand when others get concerned when open water divers make plans to dive Buford and Eagles Nest.
