There is a deep section. I was there on air in the early 80's. There is no pot of gold, but the beer keg should still be half full...

I did my first dive at Jackson Blue today and what a beautiful, large unique system it is. Can't wait to dive it again. I made it back to 2000 feet and saw 97 ffw.
Enjoy the no flow while you can. We made 1400 feet on 104's a couple of years ago and I was thrilled. The flow was screaming then. All you had to do to exit was to stop swimming. At the end of the gold line if you just let yourself drift you would be pushed out in the basin.
I remember someone describing their dive as pull and struggle.
If cave diving were Star Wars, who would be Yoda?
Yes, I think we all are enjoying the 'low flow' while we can. I know I have been at my usual dive site -- Little River, although last week I felt more current there for the first time in what seems like months.
I know the flow will increase, as it should, but it's nice to get some horizontally deeper dives in while we can. Especially for those of us who only swim it.
I will be more than happy to help carry the gold to my car ...i mean your car.
