    I have a picture taken of me there on Feb 5th,2003. This was a dive that was conducted to assess the system before being reopened. So I would say it started in 2002,and completed 2003. Hope that helps. If you want more details PM me.

    Sure remember the place before. Hard to decide which way to risk your life when going to the spring,the rickity steps or the erosion trench. I remember trying to climb out by way of the erosion trench during a rain storm with 104s on my back

    I remember climbing up the erosion trench in doubles when a local reached out and said, "Here, buddy, let me give you a hand." He severely underestimated the weight of my gear and we BOTH tumbled down the hill.

    It was really nice back when it was a 24/7 dive.... Although I thought they did a good job overall with the landscaping, stopped the erosion for sure!

    Safe diving,

    As much as we hate having losing 24 access (because we still have 7),the crime element was starting to get out of control. At that era there were cave divers who were reporting their cars getting broken into,and in fear of being sucked into a violent episode when they're there during the late hours.

    I would go just before dawn and assemble everything and watch the sunrise sipping coffee. Loved it. it was alway's interesting to see what was left behind the night before when the sun came up!
    In June 01 I found a pair of nike flip flops and have been using them since.
    I don't have access to my dive log and the forum doesn't go back far enough to get exact dates.

    I loved camping on site and diving right from camp. Had some fun times there before the walls and gates.
