Wierd, it looked like one T Mat and he happens to have a buddy with the same name as your other buddy. They are supposed to re-open Morrison in two weeks!
They got a grant to "improve" the recreation area. It was supposed to open in June. Then September. Now they are having issues getting permits for the well water that is drinkable in the bathrooms, etc. They don't want to open until all the facilities can be used. Everybody: please please don't sneak in there because if they catch you doing it they may make more constrictive rules that will spoil it for the rest of us. They actually have a "NO SCUBA diving" sign in place.
This is a very good dive. I have over 40 dives here and the deepest we went was 120ft to the end where they closed it off to the caves. The cavern area is huge and looks like a multi level house inside. Lots of fish and eels to see plus other small caverns... one of which was about 20ft x 5ft full of catfish and eels.
What's with the 'clown fish?' I had to laugh at the cheeze whiz! Cute. We fed the fish and eels hotdogs, they loved it. So do you live in that area, in Tallahassee? I don't any longer. I'm in San Diego. Been here for a while and love it. And yes, now this group is familiar. I don't dive anymore because of this cavern. Loved the silver pockets of air...
Hehe glad you liked it. Third eye blind is a great group, best known for their song Semi-charmed life. I was using a digital camera in a very small housing and a light with a narrow beam so its a wonder it came out decent.
Sorry for all the added comments, lol. Now I see the date. I love your choice of music too. I've never heard them before. Again, thank you for posting this.
I then I started looking for the natural light, the way out. I was glad you tied a rope line because that day, we did not. As you were leading me out of the cavern, I actually wondered if I was going to feel the rush of the current...
This was the cavern where I almost lost my life Matt. It was tangible though your video one again and I thought that feeling was gone. Even though it was a feeling I want to forget, I must admit I was exhilarated by it. After seeing the inside of the cavern once again and I began to relax, I could hear my heartbeat inside my ears.
If that's the Mat I know I think that's the first time I've seen him wear a hood, but then again everybody else was wearing drysuits :-p

This will always be a favorite of mine.

I was one of the lucky ones; I survived.
Great Job!!
