Caving in Water

This is a "bathtub" in an Indiana Cave. I am wearing a wet suit under my coveralls, as the water temp is a dangerous 56F (hypothermic temps). Never cave alone. Always tell someone on the surface where you are going and when you will be back. Always carry 3 sources of light.

my friend caved sullivan, said something about you had to get a key from the guy. is it gated or something?

[caverjeffery]

@popyourcorn The cave is gated. It's owned by the Indiana Karst Conservancy, and access can be made only through them (I believe you must be a member of an organized caving group to have your request considered.).

I Knew it! I've been in that bathtub!!! Been pretty much through the whole cave. A friend put up a good chunk of money for the entrance land.
