"Back in my day," you could either go up the Main Line or the Peanut Line.
Welcome to the Cave Diver's Forum.
"Back in my day," you could either go up the Main Line or the Peanut Line.
Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.
We did it this past week. My second trip....
The first time we went we did Peanut\Crossover\CisteenLine\Crypt. Terri was on lp85's & a stage, so I thought staying shallow up to the breakdown might stretch the gas a bit. This last time we were both on eCCR, so we took our time. Up Pothole, across Olsen, jump to Cisteen, then the Crypt line. We jumped up to the Peanut Restriction and came down the Peanut line to exit.
Both times we were slow pokes and probably took ~2.5 hours round trip.
Keep a sharp eye out for the double arrows marking that first jump after Olsen. You're jumping down, to the right, and under a ledge. It's easy to miss if you're not paying attention.Originally Posted by ScubaRob

I agree with your frustration, but I'll bet more people go up the peanut line and if you say "mainline" a large number of them will think "peanut line" instead.
Back in *my* day, it was the Pothole line, or the Waterhole line. It took two jumps to get to the Peanut line."Back in my day," you could either go up the Main Line or the Peanut Line.
When there is more than one goldline, there is no "main" line anymore.
If you're familiar with the system and what you need for breathing gas, I like to get in at Challenge, take the jump 200' before Olsen, go to the Crypt, then exit on the Cisteen Line out to the mainline and P1. Does take some extra planning, but it is more relaxing to swim with the current and see different passageway throughout the dive
+1 on that. If I recall the line is hugging the left wall (as you come from Olsen) and the double arrows can be missed .
The shoals are there still, the winds howl loud, the rain beats down, the waves burst strong. Some night, in the chill darkness, someone will make a mistake: The sea will show him no mercy. John T. Cunningham
And the jump off the Cisteen line to the crypt is down on the floor... I swam right past it....
Didn't you help dig the tunnel out back in your dayBack in *my* day, it was the Pothole line, or the Waterhole line. It took two jumps to get to the Peanut line.
