It's also a good way to conserve the mine, as long as you never put the line over or around any thing you will never break or destroy any artefacts/constructions in the mine (sometimes you have too, but try to use rocks or metal objects). Minediving is really nice, its a mix of caves and wrecks...Originally Posted by BDub

Last short video of some of the side passages ("drifts" in mine lingo)

To summarize, there are 4 drifts off the main shaft at 36, 54, 75 and 115ffw depths. Total length of all drifts combined is about 90ft. Maximum depth of the main shaft is 115ffw. Length of the main shaft is about 145-150ft.
We are in Washington also. Where would we find out more about the Canadian caves?
We are diving Edmond's underwater park this weekend. And really miss the caves.
Sorry you'd have to get hooked up with the Karst Canucks to find out about those. I am not privy to their locations or access arrangements
What is the music on part 1, very cool video!
Fun to see that others are diving mines as well. We've got a few up in Wisconsin that we regularly dive and it is really nice to have cave diving local. Keeps the skills up!
Everyone spends the first nine months of life in water. The lucky ones make frequent return visits.
The music in all 3 videos is by Massive Attack and are on their "Collected" album.
1 - Inertia Creeps
2 - Angel
3 - Risingson
Thanks, I found a new one last weekend. Its at a pretty high elevation, 4600ft, so we're going to have to try and dive it before November, or it will have to wait until late spring when the snow's gone.
Love to know the locations as I'm living here in Northern WI now. PM me please if you don't want it out for everyone to know about.

Guess you don't want it out for anyone to know about.
