    Default P1 AT the well

    I went down the jump at P1 a few days ago.
    Does anyone know if it can be traversed to P2. I herd it colapsed near P2.
    I'm hoping to try a traverse but trying to get as much info before I do.
    It turns to a syphen on the P1 side.
    Anyone got more info on it?

    It is a water only passage. Too small for a diver.

    It's like the Young Siphon at Jackson Blue. We like to joke that if you were the size of G.I. Joe you could probably make it, but a human - never.

    It's a pretty good syphon at times so watch your gas - its also deeper than most of Peacock at 80 feet so deco can rack up a lot faster. The line ends in a room with some large breakdown blocks in the middle. Directly in fron is a small hole with a sand floor and you can see the passage going up into breakdown. It's been said you can see daylight coming in, but I've never seen it....From the surface, the end of the line is just to the left of the concrete slab at Peacock II if your looking at the water. There are two spring entrances, both very small and choked with breakdown. There is also a sidemound siphon that goes to PIII.

    Would that be the syphon that enters the P3 cavern via the "Balcony"?

    I squeezed through Young Siphon the last time I was in Marianna

    3 of the other 4 divers in the group sure were surprised to see me waiting for them back at the main line when I lead the dive in. mwahaha! Bring on this well!!

    I need to hear details about this! No mount? Or is it a LOT bigger than we figured it is?

    I took off a tank (lp 85s) and made myself into the right shape to get through. It's probably bigger then you thought because I'm not that skilled.

    I don't know anything about the Young Syphon, but a lot of really skinny guys have tried to get through to P2.
