Here's a video that might show you a bit of what to expect.

Great video. Were all the tight restrictions (encountered during that dive) shown on the video? Was the really tight one the Diamond Sands restriction? Is that the tightest on that dive? I am trying to get a feel for how tight the cave is.

Great video, looks like a beautiful cave.

The best thing about that video is it saved me a trip. I can go through a reasonably tight restriction, but a bedding plane more than about twenty feet long does me in. My claustrophobia sets in just watching the video.

I've been using SM in the pool recently. Really in anticipation of a trip to the Bahamas. It may not happen, though - claustrophobia's tough.

So, how do you like it? I have been playing with some before I start my cavern and cave courses. Was planning to already have my cavern and intro done this summer but work got in the way. Work and diving don't mix at all except for providing money for goodies. What have you been using so far? I know it is so many opinions on what is best.

The wisest person I know always says, "Never let work get in the way of your personal life."

Can you dive Jug solo?

Solo isn't allowed in State Parks.

I'll probably get criticized by long-time sidemounters, but I'm trying to re-invent the wheel. I'm going for an absolute minimalist approach - no inflation hoses, as close to total neutral buoyancy as possible (3mm suit and 2# of weight on my body, AL80s, a snorkeling vest for buoyancy changes...). It's not as bad as one would think. Now, whether I can scooter with it is another thing.
