It has been several years since I have dove Morrison and I am trying to remember the restriction. How much work do you think it would take to make the restriction passable in a no mount configuration?

Probably alot...
Oh, and if anyone is looking for the bowling ball, I hear its at MBT Dive shop in Pensacola now.
Put it this way: if you weigh 200 pounds you're going to have to lose about 190 to get through.Quote:

What about underwater digging and "chemical" expansion devices? or is the whole thing too unstable?
There's a large sand/debri pile sloping into where the main entrance used to be. You move some at the bottom, more sand/debri slides into place. You'd have to suck the pile down significantly I think.
The cave seems pretty solid, but I'm not an expert. I've just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once.
You look down there and you can still find the old blasting wire(or what I was told is the old blasting wire).
Well the Brits have been doing it for years and we have had some good success as well with Chicago pneumatics drills (filled with bio oils/BIG generator) and certain types of inserts.Ours are private property and I imagine the Brits as well.We also are normally removing glacial debris not the actual cave.
I doubt permission would be forthcoming for that site??
If it was viable to go slow and quiet :) then an eazy - breaker might suffice-but it would be a loooong haul. As for conservation-it's well past that point and opening would be bringing it back closer to a normal state IMHO
