Here is the scenario. I am in no way experienced enough to do this dive, but it is a future goal. There is a "large" lake about three miles from my house, however it is about 1.5 miles into a wild cave system.
Is this considered a cave dive? really it is just an arbritary question. I am curious how you all would define it.
I have no idea about the cavern system under the water, in fact I am just about positive that no one has ever done a dive in there. It is extensive enough that there are reports of large(12"-18") fish in the water that can be seen with lights.
In whitewater boating we classify our river difficulty on several factors one of wich is remoteness. I think this would be an expert only dive strictly due to the lack of help in a reasonable time. Any thoughts on this?
For clarity sake let me say: I have not personally seen the body of water although I have located the proper passage to the lake. I have several reliable first hand accounts of the lake. I now have a map of the known dry passages of the cavern, it is about 5 miles in mapped size.
