The Taming of the Slough

This is Sheck Exley's exciting story of the discovery and mapping of the beloved Peacock Springs Cave System - at that time thought to be the world's longest underwater cave. His manuscript was incomplete when he met his untimely death in 1994 on a dive in Mexico. It has now been completed and expanded with the many new sections he had 1. History of Peacock Slough including a social history plus the creation of a state park to preserve the cave and its surroundings as Exley had hoped. 2. Florida geology and biology. 3. Cave diving eqipment. 4. Peacock Re-Survey, a five year project that updated Exley's original map.
