Thank you for watching. You may also take a look at my trip photos:

The southern section of B-cave starts with H-sump having a few underwater leads that were not yet followed due to a difficult access with scuba equipment to the sump via the dry part of the cave. The pathway only opens when local aquifer is drained. Air filled rooms of the sump reportedly may contain contaminated air which suggest its air isolation from the rest of a cave during the periods of when sump fill up completely. There is also a room where air flow lead is reported. For a cave diver however the most interesting are submerged leads that hopefully may bring a discovery of an unknown section.

Some caves have public access. Most of caves are on private property. FSS does research there and the access is only granted for it, website: http://floridacaving.com/

More video than YT would accept no (for political reasons?): http://video.nedoma.ru/videoList.php?pg=uservideolist&user_id=21448

@flarez This is Irish folk music. I thought it sounds  much better than electronics that is usually used for underwater video. This cave is a sump (seasonally becomes completely underwater) and Irish cave divers are known as fearless sump explorers :-) so I wanted to` tribute to them . Soundtrack was given complementary by YT at the time of upload - lookup their collection, I cannot recall the title unfortunately. Thanks for visiting.

Small (shrimp size) albino crayfish and catfish are living in systems that connected to open water via underground passages. Sometimes animals is an indicator that cave leads into open water somehow. In this particular cave we only met bats and roaches in tunnels close to the entrance. Tree roots can reach more than 100' underground from surface for water.

Well, it is exciting to find this. I went to your picture gallery, nice pics, I don't guess I blame you for obscuring the location of your spots, I recognise some but others are unfamiliar. My lifes' passion is springs, of the hidden type. I live near N. Florida and

I am a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge of off the beaten path springs. Would you be willing to trade some info?

Tht is so awesome personally I could not enter such small under water caves! I think I would panic lol... if I had a shot at it I would give it a go but might hyperventilate :-) amazing shots beautiful colours but noticed not much life? Is this due to lacking in sunlight or because thy r just individual rock pools which cannot be accessed by fish?
