My only recommendation is to loosen up w/ your cave diving. You will have so much for fun and see a lot more.

FACT: You will not instantly combust if you go past your cert level by a few feet.
FACT: you will not instantly combust if you hit a bit of deco. However, you may freeze your ass if you get some good deco w/ a tshirt :)

Just for contrast, this was Little River in November 2011.

Almost no flow that day...

That's when little river lived up to its name. Looks like there was some flow!

The main reason I want to avoid deco... I know as soon as I stop moving for more than 10 minutes I will start to get cold.... thats about how long I can sit in the basin after a dive. Mind you I'll start getting chilly and everyone else will start turning blue... but I don't want to reach the chilly point because once I GET COLD... it takes FOREVER to warm up.

Forrest suggested letting Gamble extend the drysuit I have to its not so uncomfortable around my legs... if the person showing interest doesn't buy it that will probably be the plan, I really want to finish Cave2 this fall and I will need a drysuit to do it.

Nah, sometimes I would get to LR late in the day. I'd be in the back end, look at my watch and realize I only had 90 mins. before the gate closes and rack up 50 mins deco. Then I'd be rushing out and miss the first T. It's a 90 degree turn out at the T and easy to continue straight on which goes back into the cave :). Do they actually close the gate at night? Has anybody had their car stuck overnight in the lot?

Just buy an annual pass next time. It's well worth it. They give you your own key and allow access 24/7.

I have missed the second T on the way out, but only on a scooter. I think they have moved it a little since then. Hard to imagine missing it swimming...
