Collapse at Jackson Blue

[rchrds]

My favourite part of sidemount diving is squeezing through a low bedding plain in low viz and hearing a rumble as a car or train or gremlin goes somewhere on the surface. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast

Try the long deco at Edwards. When the train goes over the tracks 10 feet from the entrance. And the whole cave shakes, and the noise is so loud, it sounds like an earthquake, and you're wedged in the 15" entrance crack at 40 feet doing your stop. SCARY.

Adam,
Did you remember to look for my reel?

I did look bit I am afraid it might be under the new floor.

Yep, definitely makes deco interesting. Last time I was there I was ascending up the crack about 60' and saw my buddy's new sonar unit that he loaned me come rocketing up in front of me on it's way to the Suwannee River. I failed to secure it in my thigh pocket properly. Probably the most miserable deco ever. The heavens parted and I found it wedged on a ceiling ledge about 10' before you get to the sink hole. Talk about luck!

Collapses happen, everything you see in the floor was the ceiling at one time. Edd called and told me about it and he has the line repaired so it shouldn't be an issue now. Be interesting to see how it has changed the landscape. Thanks for the heads up Mark. Missed you by a couple of hours, I saw you hit town as I got home.

Speleogenisis! Remember the term we used for the cave is alive and ever changing! It was a lot of rock. Wouldn't want to be in the cave during such an event.
Thanks,
Kenny P.

The more you look the more you see. There are some smaller pieces that went down the chimney and landed on the ledges and behind other rocks. All together it was a good collapse!

Thanks Rob. You just have to get over it to really get the effect of the size. Some of that you could move the one slab would have been your slab!

That is a big slab. Really stood out when I was coming back up.
