Is there a good map of Anderson Spring, or does anyone have survey data for it?
I'd love to see one as well if anyone has that. That is a fun little cave.
Someone was remapping Anderson, but I haven't heard anything since then. I have a PDF of an old sketched map.
Richard, You still dive in caves :smt081
Hey, cool!
Thanks!
Hey, thanks Forest....love diving there. Remember my last dive there and on exiting, I thought the rocks at the entrance could be moved to make it a bit larger. BAD IDEA..... after I moved one rock....5 more came down making the entrance, or in my case the exit smaller....wont do that again....spent what seemed hours (actually only 5 minutes) digging my way out...Ken
Along that same line I had a talk with a couple of divers about their experience. They were setting up the dive putting O2 bottles in it and one of them sort of got stuck exiting and blocked the flow. Apparently the sand up above the rocks is held in check by the flow and it fell in covering the bottles and put them in zero vis. They both managed to exit and after checking to see if they needed toilet paper went back after 20-30 min and the flow had cleared all the sand out and unburied their tanks. I wish I remember their names but if your reading this you could add more or make corrections since this is what I remember they told me. It would I am sure get any one's attention to have a dive like that..
I never had trouble at the entrance except fighting the flow. But several years ago me and my buddy made a right at the T instead of a left (mistake). Going in was absolutly beautiful. When we turned the vis was zero which was OK but then he got stuck and the line slipped off a wrap. I was very stressed as I thought the line broke. I didn't give up , got him unstuck and ended the dive alive.:) When we got back to the main line the vis was clear. Its still my favorite cave.
Here are the same maps, in PDF format. They are a (very) little easier to read.
Try to keep a low profile diving Anderson. It is county, not state, and there are few if any rules. We don't really want that to change.
Will do. I'm planning on hitting it up in May when I'm next down in the area.
Love exiting that cave. It is just a wild ride in sidemount.
Is the line still in really crappy condition? I thought I remember reading that some wonderful soul had taken the time to improve the line in the cave.
Yes it is a grat dive. I love it and the person that showed it to me was an awsome guy. Kelly, you know who that was.
I try to get in it everytime down. It can be a hcallange to get it but not as bad as RBD can be at times.
FW has a great map, very good. I have seen another around but it is nothing more then the one FW put up that has been cleaned up some. Wish I could find that map.
