Thoroughly enjoyable fun cave. Though I was rather annoyed that after the first 10 minutes my brand new wetsuit had developed a tear! Was treading rather cautiously after that which spoiled enjoyment slightly. ALWAYS WEAR AN OVERSUIT OVER A WETSUIT... WETSUITS ARE NO MATCH FOR A JAGGED ROCK!!! It's easily repairable however :-)


The water levels were fairly low I reckon. After the first 15m or so, the entrance crawl narrows and stooping through a low section up to neck in water is necessary, with helmet pushed through ahead, which was great fun. The rest of the cave is fairly open.


Would love to have gone back later in week with oversuit too and experience maximum enjoyment by flinging myself down watery cascades... next year I reckon!!!
