Little Hart

[gasdiver]

We dove Little Hart on Saturday morning. The flow in the first 300' was medium compared to what I understand it usually is. (This was my first dive in Little Hart.) After the first 300' the cave opens up and the flow was almost negligible. We were shooting video and going real slow. Turned at the 700' arrow and made a nice easy exit. We had a 38 minute dive, max depth of 73', water temp 72 deg and no deco. The cave is very pristine and does not look like it gets very much traffic. If you ever wanted to dive Little Hart, now is the time because the flow is way down.

Here is a 10 minute video of the dive we made in Little Hart. The lighting is not great, but we are working on that...

Good video, looked like a good dive.

Thanks for the report, but I never understand why people insist on taking video on their first venture into a new-to-them cave system. Seems, irresponsible.

It was my first dive there, not the case for my buddy who was shooting the video. As I said, we went very slow and only made a 700' penetration.

My mistake

I don't think this is the case here, but out of curiosity, does the GoPro style "wear the camera" approach change your view at all?

Kind of like the aircraft black boxes? Recover the body, and download the camera to find out what went wrong?

Definately

Different story if you hit record and forget about it while your hands are free.

Big mistake. As usual you jump in and start criticizing people that you have never dived with and know nothing about their skills or experience. We can walk and chew gum at the same time and in this case swim and carry a small camera. If we had gotten into the system and found the camera to be a safety risk or to overly task load us, we would have either clipped the camera to the line, continued the dive and picked up the camera or just turned the dive.
