P II

[MORGAN]

There is another beat up hole on the right that may connect to P1, but I haven't tried that one.

I have looked at it from the inside, having swam there from P1. It looked like it had collapsed. It may go, but it didn't look like something I wanted to try.

The Balcony is a cool place. I haven't entered that from the outside, either - just swam from the P-III cavern to where it pinches down and back again.

It isn't very tight, it has been done in backmount. A lot easier in sidemount, though.

I'll give it a look in October.

The Balcony from P3 cavern has two exit/entrance holes into the spring run near the P2 area. One is side-mount the other a tight back mount as of about a year ago. The Well line from P1 ends in a small "room" that is considered part of the P2 cavern break down but has no exit. I don't believe there is any known connection between P1 and P3 largely because there is currently no way to connect the Balcony to the Well line.

Go down the P1 Main Line (toward Pothole) and there is a jump to the right about p250'. Take it and you will get to a "well." Go down the well and you will hit about 85'. Keep going and you will see that you are getting shallower and shallower, until you think you are nearing an exit. Ten or so years ago it pinched off such that you couldn't exit, but I don't know about now.

So it would be a fun little jump if nothing else than to make the jump and drop to 85' and come back.

WOW... Thanks everyone. Doesn't sound like something I would want to do from the spring run, back to P1... but sounds like a fun little jump from Olsen line to the pit. I need to start doing some jumps and this would make for a short dive.

Addressing this comment.... you can't get from the spring run entry holes near P2 back to P1 as they only go to P3. And the "fun little jump" from the Olsen line is not really so little and is not marked.

Tim, best I can remember, the jump to the well is about 35 feet beyond the stop sign at the bottom of the chimney. Because of the distance(100') to the jump line, I would use a primary or safety reel to reach the line which is on the right wall. Seems like there is one rock on the floor at the halfway point to tie your line.

Is this a dive that is appropriate with a Naui Cave I cert?

I didn't see anyone mention it, but the passage from the pothole line to the well is a siphon. Depending on the flow at Peacock, this may or may not be relevant.
Thirds will not be the most clever approach to this dive.

Next there is a second line in the well area that parallels it, goes through another opening and loops back parallel to the other well line. That line is a fairly low passage and not for inexperienced cave divers.
So when entering and exiting the well "shaft" for the first time, make extra sure to look for the other line as to not accidentally jump onto it on the return. It's only a reach gap...
