Where possible I was on one side of the line and my buddy on the other so our lights would penetrate a little bit further.
As has been said above, vis improved dramatically (to 50-60 ft maybe) once past a few crap water side tunnels and the sinks. Went 2000' past Friedmans and I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the cave. Went slowly on the way out checking out side passages and all the nooks and crannies. Once in the lower vis section I was back on the trigger and hauling butt since there wasn't much point. Swimming might be a little bit different though, except for the flow.
