No-mount cave diving video
Hey everyone,
I have been redesigning my website and I posted a no-mount cave video that I shot several years ago in Wisconsin. The video quality isn't stellar because I decided to sacrifice quality for playability. I thought some of you may enjoy seeing this. http://superiordivetraining.com/videos-2
Mole hole junkies!

Great visibility and good flow! Does it open up further in or it just pinches down?
It stays like that for around 500ft. We couldn't get the camera past the first major restriction "The Cheese Grater" that you see in the video.
Wow, I got claustrophobic just watching that!

Well, at least I wouldn't get blisters on my toes from finning there!
That is just unf____ing unbelievable. I always wonder how one would know that pushing further wouldn't result in landing in a place where backing out and/or turning wouldn't work.

Someone told me that the original exploration was done with a hooka rig and a very long hose. Now that's crazy!
So, what happens if you have to abort the dive? Is there anywhere you can turn around and head out facing the exit?
I got caught telling a lie to our local shop owner that he'd never catch me diving in caves...that was two years ago...just got my Cavern and Intro first of last month, and love it. However, I can safely say you'll never catch me diving those kinds of restrictions. When the Peanut Tunnel at Peacock was described to me (pre-class), I had worries about diving it. The Peanut Tunnel ended up being my favorite part of Peacock, but this video makes the Peanut look like a wide open gallery!
I take it that "The Cheese Grater" was where the diver had to remove his helmet to get thru? Hard core stuff!
Get busy livin', or get busy dyin'
Man my squirels were flying on that one. I would have been pointing at my head and giving you the one finger loop on the entry. Thanks for sharing Richard. Post some more vids.. We want to see..
I still want to conquer that jump you took Tia and I to in Madison that my squirels started flying. Man it was fun I just wish my head would have stayed in it.
