Divers often swim past some of the best passage, without a glance sideways. Examples:
The Catacombs (no fixed lines, so run a reel).

The enchainment of the Lips and Keyhole Bypasses.

The Godzilla Room.
The Wormhole.
The Ice Room.
Other suggestions?
I dont think Ice Room is passed over, it's just a slog. even with a DPV, it's a stage dive. Rest of the destinations you listed are sandy or high flow, which lets them be pretty forgiving, but up near Sherwood Split / Ice Room / Skid Row you gotta be on best behavior from the lack of traffic and general dustiness.
July Spring and Parallel lines are some of my personal favs for swim dives at Ginnie. Been spending a lot of time lately poking around Insulation Rooms and Sweet Surprise as Scooter-Drop-Swim dives, and there are a LOT of nooks and crannies back there that are not even listed on the Hancock / Bernot maps.
Up at P1, there is The Well passage which is pretty interesting and easy to get too. Crossover / Dark Water is also very interesting, but both are dusty and require quite a bit of finesse.
73 de N1TRX.
+1 on July Springs, Parallel Lines, Wormhole
Sherwood Split is very nice, but I doubt people pass it. It is a solid sm destination dive.
Probably one of the most interesting scenes is Stephens I, II, III when the sun light in overhead and the system has above average viz
73, Alex!!! I'm also a POTA fan. The Ice Room, agreed, it wasn't appropriate for my list; it's an expedition.
July Spring, Parallel Lines, good suggestions. White Room also good for a relatively close-to-entrance dive, good technique indicated though.
Cheers!
I?ve spent quite a bit of time in there over the last year and those sinks are pretty.Quote:
