I should have tested...sorry about that. I know better than to trust my memory when copying the first URL and just changing it for each system.

How is the Z restriction? I'm a little nervous since thats were bad things happened. Used to pass it all the time without really even thinking about it. Is it good and stable?

Some may not know the Z restriction. It is on the map at 850' and is called "Half Hitch" on the "official" map. Back in 1999 there was a collapse here that resulted in 2 deaths.

IUCRR Acident Report (http://iucrr.org/19991019_01.htm)

The restriction looked solid but I can't say I was looking that close at it. I will next time. We ended up going about 1300' up the mainline for our first dive. We were planning a second dive to the Godzilla Room but there were already 2 teams in there when we starting to gear up for the second dive so we just drove back to Luraville and had a nice night dive at Telford.
