These are the last pictures taken on my camera before it flooded. Luckily I was able to download the SD card. One picture was taken while on the Mill Pond and the rest were taken in the Shangri-La cavern zone.

Great photos, Walter! Sorry to hear your camera flooded. What happened? I saw you taking photos on our boat ride back to Edd's.

Great photos Walter, ShangriLa is definately the prettiest little spring in florida from the surface. Nice little cavern underwater too

Sorry to hear about your camera.
Do you guys swim through that keyhole (5th pic)???? No way you could get me to do that.

I have never seen anyone go through the small holes....not even Bugman.
But if you look up inside some of them, you do see some line run. Rumor has it that one of them (not the one in the 5th picture) goes up and comes out to land up top. My big bubba butt is not going in one of them.
When the sun is shining...Shangra-La is one of the most beautiful spring/cavern dives around. It is like diving in a fish tank!

I've swam through one of the vents at the surface and connected it to one of the holes in the roof of the cavern and exitted from the cavern once. Kinda took my buddy by suprise.
To do that, you have to push a tank out in front of you, you can't do it even in SM with the tanks attached.

I guess with the relatively shallow two dives in the morning were ok for my camera. Once we went deeper on out last dive of the day I guess the faulty button started allowing water to leak in. I did some checking and it looks like it was the button that turned my camera on/off that was the culprit.

Was it insured?

The cavern zone of Shangri-La is a stright tube that pinches off towards the back. From that point on the cave zone begins which is tight sidemount passage. Within the cavern zone there are a couple of tubes (one of them was pic #5) that maybe advanced no mount divers can check out. I on the other hand have no training or desire to sqeeze into little areas. I like fairly big passage which allows me to enjoy the shapes of the passage I am in.
