Blue hole spring, Pa

[Scott]

Just received some info on Blue Hole Spring in Forbes State Forrest in Pa. Pictures look interesting. Does anyone have any info on this?
Thanks.

Any way i could hear about the info u have. This is a bit closer to home then florida

[Scott]

Yeah, I will post some more tomorrow. I know it is dive-able but is side mount or no mount at parts. There are other cave divers in Pa ( oister?) that may be interested as well. We may have to plan a day to hit it if it is worth it.

Cant wait to hear about it. Im all in if youre looking for divers.

Looking forward to info when you have more. In particular, I'm curious whether it has a cavern zone worth diving, and what the access rules for the site are.

Thanks!

EDIT:
Is it this Blue Hole Spring? http://www.swimmingholes.org/pa.html (scroll down to BLUE HOLE BARRONVALE

Yep that is it. I have better pics. There is a blue hole swimming area that is separate from the blue hole spring. I know the entrance is tight sidemount but there were a few guys up here who have dove it a couple of times. I am trying to get more info on what is past the entrance. When I do, I will pass it on.

Thanks. Sounds like no cavern at all, though, sadly.

Scott, was there last May. Could find no opening,Who told you it was divable? This is a 6 foot deep hole in the middle of a small mountain stream. The bottom is clear of gravel. I was sure there had to be a hole there, but could not find one. Nothing I could even stick my hand in. I live about 40 miles from there. Have been thinking I missed somthing and should go back. It may be better to go in September when water level is low.

I was told about it by a shop owner who had customers who said they use to dive it. Third hand information I know. But I know there are dry caves in that area and on a topo it looks like a nice gorge and has the same characteristics that I have seen at other springs.
It is about 3 hours away for me, that is why I wanted to ask here before driving out there.
Thanks for the info, I will put it on the back burner for now and if I find myself in that area, I will have a look.
