Just gathering some intelligence for a future dive. I'm hoping to get to LR this weekend, in case the flood decides to come.
What I'm able to glean:
NSS-CDS membership required, get code/key from Dive Outpost.
Downstream - open to everyone, just dive within your limits. It is a light siphon but not enough to drastically change gas planning.
Upstream - Limited to full cave only, having a couple if restrictions at the start, and one section where you need a pull rope. Excellent buoyancy required as the clay banks are nearly untouched.
How bad is the upstream flow? How bad are the restrictions for a sidemount diver? Also are they fire hydrants going through them? I see in this video that a backmount diver got through them so they can't be that bad.
