Tuesday Oct. 18, 2016 - Derek and I had a marvelous day diving the cave system of Ginnie Springs. We had the entire thing all to ourselves, and it was amazing!

We began by running a jump from the Lips into the Lips Bypass, and then took the Keyhole bypass at the split.

When was left there, we ran a line into the Catacombs in several places, in order to get more pics in tight quarters.

After our cave dive, Derek wanted to log some time on his rebreather, so we put our sidemount tanks away, and I jumped in my old OW gear. While my strobe was dead at this point, I still managed to get a few cool shots of him in the Ballroom.

What a great day. Our cave dive was 115 minutes. We had around 7 mins. of deco, and our max depth was 90 ft.

Our Ballroom dive was 54 mins. at 50 ft.
