Here is an interesting trip report from a recent cave-diving trip:
http://karstunderwaterresearch.org/projects/twin_dees.asp
For those, who don't have time to read it, here is an excerpt:
"This tunnel arced about 80 feet to the right and opened as a balcony
into another enormous room. We looked at each, not believing that
their could be two rooms this big; either one of these had already
made the once imposing Pleasure Dome seem like a broom closet."
On a related note,
If it is o.k. for cave-divers to work in pairs, do experienced cavers
in dry caves, feel safe
with just 2 cavers on a trip? I think the going rule is 4 cavers
preferred, minimum 3. Right?
Or is that rule only for newbies ? Is solo caving still considered
acceptable on deep or long expedition trips where a member has to
leave the cave team to return to the surface, or is that just one of
the exceptions to the rule of solo caving ?
