I wonder how deep this is and what it contains?

Green, I guess I just don't understand why....It's pretty clear that you're not going to find the Maine Karst Plain or anything. It's going to be a vertical shaft with dead things at the bottom. Do you have any inclination that it is something otherwise or that there will be anything interesting in there?

Cripes Soggy with that attitude you'ld not have been on the boat with Chatterton, et. al. when they made the first dive on the U869. After all, it was probably just a pile of junk, or a ledge, right?

I do not have any idea what it contains but I intend to find out. Of course, if the initial "depth sounding" shows it to be less than 5 feet of water I'll just stay out. If the analysis of the water shows it to be loaded with ecoli or something similar I'll stay out.

There's another site I am working on getting to that will probably be just a pile of junk but you never know.

Be sure to let me know if you find a lost WWII sub in there...

6 pages of discussion about this hole and no controversy yet. I say RIMAP should step in and prevent any exursions into the hole. It could have historic value.

And NOW it is up to 13 pages!

I am AMAZED that we don't yet have a "how to dive holes right" perspective on this!

That's because many scoober-divers are not truly explorers; they are tourists who want to know what is there so they can decide if it's worth "the effort". So, this thread is 13 pages of tourist attraction; everyone wants me to do the work while they pontificate about the contents of that rat hole !!!

Ahh yes, the Star Trek Tourist syndrome- to boldly go where everyone else has gone before!

Soggy had a really sweet semi-drysuit when I first met him.

Of course I don't believe it was originally marketed as a 'semi-dry'.
