    Default P II

    Been lurking and learning lately but PII came up in conversation Saturday night and no one could agree about where it was.... If you look on the map for P1, you see it right down the run... but then where is PIII ??

    From the map it appears short, could someone enlighten me? it is between PIII and PI on the spring run? What is is like? Is there gold line? is it so low and silty I really don't even want to look? I did several different searches and could only get info on P1 and PIII.

    Just curious,

    I am certainly no expert on Peacock as I don't have that many dives there. A few years ago I went to P3 on the way out I was poking around the holes in the run. I went up inside little opening and ran into line. I was told this is P2 and it connects with P3. It wasn't big from what I remember and definitely didn't have gold line. It is basically out in front of the flat rocks to the left of the parking lot at P1. I would say sidemount would definitely work better in there from what I remember.

    So if that is PII at the left of the parking lot, where is PIII ?? because your description is where I was told PIII was. And to look at the map it appears to be a lead in to the stop sign for the olsen line?

    Go down the P1 Main Line (toward Pothole) and there is a jump to the right about p250'. Take it and you will get to a "well." Go down the well and you will hit about 85'. Keep going and you will see that you are getting shallower and shallower, until you think you are nearing an exit. Ten or so years ago it pinched off such that you couldn't exit, but I don't know about now.

    P2 is in the P1 spring run. The one down to the left of the parking lot is P3.

    I believe your describing "The Balcony" Its a low tunnel leading to the cavern of PIII. Its almost straight out from where you enter the run to get to PIII.

    what those guys said. The Balcony is a nice alternate entrance into PIII, and PII was unfortunately pinched off, but you can get most of the way there in sidemount off of Olsen.

    Forrest would be the best one to ask. I know he can tell you exactly what the deal is.

    P2 is in between P1 and P3. There's a traverse you can do from P2 that will put you in the back of the P3 cavern, but the beginning of P2 is pretty small and tight. I managed to wedge myself in it pretty good about a month ago.

    Ken has the best answer.

    You get to the P2-P3 connection by going to the far left side of the parking lot. If you follow the trail through the fence, P2 in on your right, and P3 is all the way to the end of the trail. If you get into P2, the entrance to the connection is a fairly beat up hole to the left. There is another beat up hole on the right that may connect to P1, but I haven't tried that one.
