Bozell's?

[rjack]

Is this system back-mountable? The surface pics I have seen look really cool and I would like to try it next time I'm in FL.
Thanks

You'll need a boat to get out there, gators are out when the weather is warm and bring lots of insect repellant.

It can be backmounted,but some parts are better done in sidemounts.

I saw a dude get stuck in that vertical fissure crack near the entrance backmounting. Edd and I were sidemount and cruised right thru.

LOL, its amazing that people use that entry in backmount.

I would suggest going with someone who's been there before if your diving in BM. They will help point you in the right direction, not only the entrance to the cave but to get there from the boat ramp.

Enjoy!

We had no difficulty diving it backmount 6-7 years ago... entrance (the right one, not the little ones) were no issue at all, lots to see, did about an hour BT....

Yeah I have a friend from GA that I dove with my first time in FL. He tells me Bozell's is in the 130ft depth range which is a bit much for him right now. I may still end up there with a different buddy, I just wanted to know if I was getting all hopped up for something unrealistic (size or otherwise). Looks like a cool cave at least for the "approach" + entrance

Does anyone have some inside pics they could share?

Stay on the line, or between it and the ceiling, and you won't hit 130'(atleast not anywhere downstream of the first three navigational decisions). You'd have to ride the floor to get that I'd imagine. I think the deepest I've hit in there is around 120' with reasonably high water levels. The other occassions I've been to Bozel have had me even shallower than that.

If you want a look at the inside, Edd sells a DVD video that I believe Ryan Eastman shot of Bozell. The music sucks(typical generic crap), but the video footage is great

Thanks for the info! I liked FL last time, just trying to branch out a bit and try some new stuff in the recreational range. While a bit deep I think I'll call Edd and order the DVD for this one just in case...
