The Beacon Woods cave system was connected to Wayne's World (School Sink) in June 2002 by the South East Exploration Team (S.E.E. Team). This created a system with about 60,000 linear feet of explored passage. The system has been on-and-off explored for almost 30 years starting in the late 1970's. Currently the system is closed to the public. In order to get permission to dive the system you must first contact the Beacon Woods Civic Association.

The Beacon Woods system consists of at least 6 windows and has an average depth of about 150 feet. This means that this dive should be considered and advanced dive due to the need for TRIMIX as well as the deco obligations that will be encountered.

The southern most being Round Sink and the northern most being Smokehouse Pond. In the past, most dives were staged out of Round Sink. There is a pretty good deco trapeze from 10' to 40' and deco ladder of sorts from 50' to 90'. Be careful as these can get pretty tangled up with the debris in the sink.

Looking at the overview map from Coastal Karst Foundation, you can see that most of the Beacon Woods system is east of US-19 and north of SR-52 in Bayonet Point, FL.

Access via this entrance:
Nexxus Sink is located behind some commercial buildings on Clock Tower Parkway. Access is difficult as the sides are extremely steep and the sink is completely fenced off. The only gate is behind the Beacon woods Civic Center buildings at the intersection of Majestic Blvd and Clock Tower Parkway.

This window to the cave system is silty and narrow and makes for a poor exit due to the small solution tube and lack of space for bottle placements. The basin is approximately 6' deep with a solution tube in the north end leading down to a large intersection room.
