This actually fairly typical of the caves in the UK and elsewhere. The Florida/Mexico caves are really pretty unusual in that they are divable from the entrance and completely below the water table.
- This particular dive site seems to be unique, with multiple dives interspersed with short surface intervals required to progress into the cave. How did both the OC and rebreather (CCR or SCR?) deal with repetitive shallow and somewhat deeper dives in terms of deco planning?
Elsewhere cave diving is something that you do as a caver to gain access to another section of a dry cave. So what was being done to get themselves in and out wasn’t something that the lead divers hadn’t done before. It was the kids that were the huge issue.
The reports I’ve seen suggest that the water was all shallower than the infinite no-deco limit, or was at most at the many hours before you need to consider decompression level.
