    Default Thanks everyone

    Gary thanks for the info. I need to get a map and look carefully as I explore the area. There is a lot to see from the little bit we looked at on our first trip in there and bring plenty of line markers.

    Andrew thanks for posting you video. Interesting sidemount tunnels you shot. I noticed you were wearing a VR3? Is the video an older one?

    I appreciate everyone input!

    I've been past the rooms but not into them. I never have a lean enough mix when I go there. Are they worth a visit?

    Here's a video of Small Creek. I'm done with arguments that by posting this I'm destroying it so please don't even go there. It's very narrow and very silty, but boy is it gorgeous! IMHO this is a sidemount only passage.

    Look at the silt on the way back. I'm going to claim that's mainly percolation. Seriously, the viz drops fast in this section.

    Awesome. Another Hero-dive video. Thanks for sharing.

    Wasn't it you talking about how "scientific" the Wakulla dives were?

    Are their videos "Hero dive videos"?

    Interesting fact - 5 of your 6 posts have been used to attack people:

    That has to be a new record on this board...

    I recognize 1/3 of the route. We did left turn on the T (the one where you picked up your clothe pin) into the deep section rather than into Small Creek (to the right). From what i see the SC tunnel is smaller than it is before the T. We were backmount and stirred up some silt during the exit. Does tunnel ever gets bigger? Did you use 2 stages (one to drive one to extend swimming) or just your sm tanks after you dropped SS on mainline? Another question if you don't mind. There is another T before it splits into Small Creek: large arrow points to the way you (and we did too) came in. What about the alternative, it is also pointed into the same general direction but looks low. Does it lead out to the mainline in Dome Room?

    hey Ary, what's up?

    I've never followed any of the other lines so I can't tell you what's on each T.

    I've always just taken one stage and a scooter, and dropped both at the jump to the deep sections and small creek. It would probably take 2 stages to swim there though.
