Awesome looking project. I hope you can make it go big! Wet or Dry!

I can attest that just getting the gear up to the mouth of the cave is no small feat in and of itself. Combine that with rappelling 1200 feet vertical and 1 mile into the sump over boulder strewn up and down and you start to get a better idea about the epic level of this effort. These guys are really paying their dues to get some serious cave diving exploration done!

Forrest,
I was expecting it to go back to dry cave quickly. We put between 250 and 300 feet of line in at a depth of 66 feet and then decided we needed to come back with much larger tanks to see where else it goes. Crystal clear water and a beautiful cave. Looking further it goes deeper and then turned a corner. We cannot dive it year around so the project is going to take some time.

Took me a long time to finally get this together, but here is a teaser video. Let me be 100% honest - it is a teaser in the sense that you all get to see very little of the cave, not so much a teaser in the sense that this is really all the usable video we have so far!
Gave a short presentation at the 2013 Cave Summit this weekend, that's what finally pushed us to get the video together.
Big plans to make a push this winter.... we'll keep you all posted.
