Cow Springs

Cow has always been closed to non full cave divers
Training was allowed downstream

I believe only upstream was off limits to cavern / Intro divers.
Downstream only allows training to CDS instructors.
Certain levels of training were allowed upstream by CDS instructors, ie sidemount.

But I have no idea what the actual rules or regulations are currently.

Its scary that the cds hasnt sent out a clear and concise email to the cds instructors explaining the changes. Mass emails are very easy to achieve nowadays.

So your saying upstream was always closed to non-full divers?? Though my standards wouldn't allow me to dive "down stream" because that would be a syphon. Unless the use of upstream/downstream is different than how I would imagine their use in say surface descriptions of upstream/downstream.

If the post in Facebook was any indication , NO training up or down stream... must be full cave to close out the waiver process.

At one time, full cave plus 100 cave dives was required to dive upstream Cow. I don't know why this was dropped; my guess is that it was unenforceable.

Twaldo the downstream section has a left and right tunnels. Both are only approximately 400?
