    I'm not making this up, but "Lower Orange Grove" is the huge cavern that is sort of below the main cave entrance and goes to about 100' deep. You probably mean the deep section, known as "Lower Lower Orange Grove." It is accessed by a minor restriction at the bottom of the Lower cavern. It goes to about 170' depth. That's all the info I have, as I've never dived it.

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    It is alot of fun and it can get nasty! Don't do it on deep air.

    It took three dives to figure out where it was. We were actually right the first time, but did not go far enough. It does get deep and can be nasty. I'd second the "get the right mix" comment.

    Cheers,
    Jeff

    No you won't. It's swiss cheese down there. LLOG is basically a big circuit with one jump in it. There may be a little more to it, but that's what's on the map and what most people know about. It is low and silty in the breakdown room. It can be done in backmount but was more enjoyable in sidemount.
