Here is a recent post I saw on FB. Obviously someone is in the cave to get this shot of a discombobulated diver entering the no flow cave. Name withheld. Recorded cave diving and underwater entry fatalities at Royal Springs in Suwannee County, Florida, include Mark Granger, William Ridenour, and James E. Morgan, Jr. Most of these tragic incidents involved individuals entering the silty, unflowing cave system. Local tribal knowledge being passed down to obvious newbies in the interest of maintaining access for scuba divers.

My industrial training contributed to the placing of this cave on the back burner because of safety concerns and other projects. Despite this I made plans to revisit the cave at a water level that allowed access to the system without having to remove gear in the hypoxic chamber, just beyond the mouth of the spring opening. I studied and consulted on human entry into enclosed spaces that contained H2S. I was prepared to analyze the atmosphere in the cave and make it safe for exploration. I affectionately named the project “the gas chamber”

In the video, Guy Bryant, Tracy Niesent and Lee Sams bring you the moment that humans entered the depths of this underwater frontier
