Description:
This cave that was chronicled on Sheck Exley's "Caverns Measureless to Man"
and has been extensively explored under some of the worst diving conditions
around. Exley bought the land around this karst window in order to gain
access to the site. This site was literally his backyard and he created ways to
make the diving more enjoyable such as rigging a hot water line for comfortable
deco. This
system is usually the first to go black whenever the river floods. This site is
upstream of Falmouth Springs. NSS-CDS controls access
to this site, so for more information, check out their website listing
