Are you saying the crypt is a unstable area,
Wayne

I dropped down that line line once to check it out. I went to the end of that line and tied a reel on to venture further. the other 2 RB divers that were with me could not fit and it was tight enought that I silted it out behind myself on the way through. I stopped to look around and figure out my next move, this is when I saw how slanted the rock slabs were and how it looked like one touch and the whole thing would slip and cut me in half. I decided that my comfort level had been reached and turned to exit. I have been back to the crypt a couple of times, but have never felt the need to drag my arse down there again. BTW, it takes quite a bit to scare in during a dive.

And Don was on a rebreather. Blowing bubbles down there tends to knock even more stuff loose.

I went back there a long time ago and never felt an urge to go back. We bottomed out at 135 ft. Went several hundred ft back to a 45 degree belly and back restriction and turned there; the line continued on.

Story goes that Woody Jasper laid line down there only to came back later to find the entire ceiling had fallen and covered the line. He of course ran new line over that.

Don, did you post about that experience, sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe that's the one I was thinking of.

Thanks all for the Info. At least for me, that kind of puts the proverbial nail in the coffin for my below the crypt question.

I'd hate to be the cause of rain on Woody's parade (or a collapse on his line). And as no one has said it's a "must see", I'll leave the lower section alone.

When I go back towards the Crypt again, the eyes will be a bit wider, and looking to the ceiling a bit more as well.

I don't recall if I posted about the dive or not. I was acting as a guide for a couple of Meg divers from Finland. We popped into the Crypt as we were doing the Grand Traverse via the Cisteen line.

I remember those guys.

IMO that room is the most interesting place in the system... and very appropriately named. You definitely experience a different sensation when entering the room. It's not the welcoming feeling I normally get when diving Peacock.
