    Default Lower Orange Grove

    Hi,

    I'd like to ask for information regarding the passage in Lower Orange Grove since I have only been down there three times. There are two passages;

    1.) If you take the right on the 1st T, keep follow it to the 2nd T where there is a drop to about 180 ft deep. At the end of the line, I saw there's a jump line hiding a bit further in the very small restriction. I could not determine if it a SM restriction or No-mount restriction from where I saw it. I dive with O2ptima so I'm pretty sure I will not be able to fit in that hole, but would love to know more detail to prepare my next dive there.

    2.) If you take the left on the 1st T, follow it until you see a jump on your left. After jump to the new line, it lead to about 140 ft deep where there's a T and one of the line goes through behind the wall. I can navigate through the hole on the brownish, rocky wall with ease and it opens up quite good. However, I did not have a chance to explore this area because my buddies did not catch up with me after I pass through the wall, so I have to turn around. Question is how far is this one going? Will it become a restriction further in?


    Thank you!

    You must be trolling!


    Haven't you heard there aren't any t's in florida, especially in a tourist cave like Peacock.



    Bring down the ban hammer!

    It was a joke. Last year or so someone well know mistakenly said there were no t?s in florida (or maybe was misquoted). Since then I actually overheard a couple guys talking about how there arent any and it was obvious it was based on what they read on the internet.

    I'm sorry for my poor communication skills. I'll try it again.

    The circuit in Lower orange grove, there's a line that lead and drop down to 180ft area. I saw a jump in a very small area at that depth. My questions is how small would that passage be, side-mount or no-mount restriction, and how far it goes?

    Hope I make more sense this time. Thank you

    That made sense! But unfortunately I do not know the answer. If you do the circuit feel free to pull the orange cookie at the first T and leave it at Dive outpost. It?s mine. I ended up not going g back that way.

    It quickly tightens to a sidemount tunnel. You can jump to it, but won't go more than 5 meters in it with anything backmounted.

    Your communication skills are fine. I was just overloaded with information.

    I have only done the circuit once and was focused on the line. I did not really look around much. I did see a T where I left my cookie just in case I had to turn around. Figured it would be a little silty. I was not sure where I was going to hit thirds so I wanted to be safe As it ended up I never did!
