    Default Cisteen Sink?

    Is this an emergency exit like pothole, Olsen and heaven forbid Challenge? Ive never been under it but sure wish it was an entry for an easy swim to the crypt.

    The crypt isn't a bad swim from Lower Orange...

    Entrance and exit from Challenge are allowed. I have two friends that have done it.

    (Don't ask me to comment on their sanity...)

    It's bad luck to be superstitious.

    I got out of Challenge once due to an urgent requirement not to wet my drysuit. I signalled to my buddies that I needed to surface (they thought it was some out of air problem or otherwise) - surfaced - deployed my safety reel between two rocks and removed my gear - stowing it neatly on the clothes' line I'd made. Climbing deflty out of the water, I dealt with the problem discreetly behind a tree, got back it, donned my gear and continiued the dive in comfort.

    A P-valve would have been a whole lot less trouble
