Does anyone know who would have laid the exploration line past the Wakulla Room in Indian? The passage is across from the balcony but at the bottom around 232'. It goes about 200' and terminates at a depth of 262'.

Casey I think. Does it end in a restriction?
Is the restriction the size of a house?
It is not BM passage. I'm sure he would have been on a RB80 which would not fit. It looks to open up after a tight squeeze about 100' or so.
I think they put that line in on OC. Pretty sure it was Casey, but I forget who he was with.
Knotted line, WKPP of some iteration, unknotted probably Frank Richardson? Maybe Frank, he was back there.Quote:

It was after Parker. Arrow was dated 12-18-94, WKPP. The line stops at a large boulder to the right of center of the room. And then goes off in 3 detections to the walls pretty much like the wakulla room itself.
Like I said, pretty sure Casey put it in.
Sounds to me like someone with a redundant sidemount rebreather, some setup teams, and some gumption needs to go steal a little WKPP thunder and connect Indian to Sally Ward....they're not that far apart!
Would a project like that even be allowed under the current guide/access process? Seems to me that Speleo was already out there.....sounds like a good weekend project...?
no rebreathers allowed last I heard.
the thunder stealing will have to be done the old fashioned way with open circuit and big giant balls :)
I know Steve Irving did some dives in there back around that time frame. As others had mentioned, so did Casey.
i believe rebreathers wil be allowed. stay tunedQuote:
