Eagle``s Nest Sink opened on July 1, 2003. The NSS-CDS and NACD have worked for over a year with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) to re-open the site for cave diving. Access will be through the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area. Divers must check in at an iron ranger at the entrance and pay the $3.00 daily fee, or you can purchase a yearly Wildlife Management Area pass for $26.50 at most hunting supply stores, Wal-Mart or on-line at: [url=http://floridaconservation.org/license/index.html]http://floridaconservation.org/license/index.html[/url]. Either the day pass stub or the Management area pass should be displayed on the dash so that law enforcement can see them while you are in the water. This site is deep and a very advanced dive. The NACD and NSS-CDS recommends that you have the following MINIMUM qualifications to dive: 1. Full Cave Certification. 2. Trimix certification. 3. Appropriate experience with deep cave dives.
