Hospital Hole April 1st

[Signal 20]

I surveyed Hudson Grotto way back in 1994 - 1995. It took me 5 - 6 dives to gather all the data. The map on the wall where the tables are located is from my original map. There's been some boats sunk in various locations since then. The visibility on the bottom is always poor. It can vary quite a bit down to 50' - 60' during the year. I never got around to surveying and mapping Hospital Hole.

i have seen on your map that there is a section that has a question mark and what looks like the beginning of a tunnel. what is down at that section?

Titen:

It's a very small horizontal opening not even large enough to do a "no mount" entry.

There's also a pit on the north wall under the floating dock that drops vertically to 150' and then pinches out.

I heard stories of there being cave passage in there many years ago before the county dumped tons and tons of fill into it with the intent of filling it in, but then giving up when they discovered it was too large.
