Yesterday Brian (litehedded) and I got to dive at Diepolder Sink #3, guided by James Draker. The sink looks like a little fish pond in the woods, and after a funnel shaped opening it busts out into a massive crystal clear room. Wall to wall is some 600ft across! The line is a simple circuit that goes around the room, dropping to a max depth of 270ft. Kate Pruden and Bob Beckner took the line in the opposite direction from us and provided perspective on just how huge this underwater space is.

Even with five 21w HIDs and two LED video lights, there was barely enough illumination to pick up anything. Here's the video, hope you enjoy!

I'd be having a bad bad time if it wasn't leaking!
 
Intentional. It needs a little editing that I haven't got around to. I'll repost soon.
