Cave Diving in Marianna FL.

[gwndwn]

I never know where to put these so I guess this time I put them here. A little sequence from a cave diving trip to Marianna, Fl a couple of weeks ago.

Heading in.


The Cavern Zone. Tried bouncing strobes of the walls to get better coverage...it worked...but I lost my color.


Dropping our Stage bottles


Enough of the big stuff


Going over a breakdown


Heading up the chimney


Hey buddy, you ready for a beer yet?


Is there anything more fun than deco?


Heading out


Swimming across the pond


One last look before the long drive home

WoW! Very cool! You guys have more guts than me. Never catch me going thru caves like that, but I love diving.

really cool pictures! you did a great job of not getting any exhaust bubbles in the pics, was that planned?

i have always wanted to do spelunking....i have close to a hundred wreck dives and i know this would just be way better!

Thanks, I generally try to wait for the "models" to inhale especially when I'm close and their face is in the picture.

You have your full cave cert? Nice.. I did my deco proc about a year ago...need to get some more dives in before I do my trimix.

For some reason penetrating a wreck = fine with me
Going into a cave = not so much

I dunno.. maybe because I know in my head that there is a finite "edge" or "end" to a wreck.. but a cave can go on for MILES...

Great pics tho!
