How deep inside?

How deep inside?

max depth on the small crevice is 210 but we are only going to be in the 150-155 region on our 25% mix.

So, are you using you doubles?

25% nitrox I think. Adequate I believe, as long as you don't go down to the 200 foot level. To get to that deeper level you would have to remove your gear, and hand hold it in front of you, to get through a tight restriction at 150 ft. . Definitely not a excercise for beginners.

In anycase, I would do the cave to 150ft. in manifolded doubles and a stage tank containing 50% nitrox for deco. Easy dive lasting for less than an hour.

does that cave go deep after that restriction?

 

[Ben_ca]

Is it just a straight shaft? Reel needed? Sounds interesting but I'll wait for my Trimix cert....

They say it bottoms out at 220 ft or thereabouts in a large chamber. I haven't done it myself as I would only do this dive on Trimix ($$$$$$).

I would cost this dive at approximately 5 to 7 thousand pesos for helium and deco mixes.

you guys are doing a major restriction, with equipment removal?
