preperation for a dive in Cannonball Cave, Missouri |
We geared up and tied of a primary line to a tree on shore. I would have brought a surface buoy and I recommend anyone considering this dive to bring a surface buoy as we were around 20ft off shore.

We travel through a natural bridge which was interesting and made it to the pit. The Pit descends to around 280ft. and we were not prepared for a dive that would require a plan for that depth. We ended the dive and exited the cave without incident. We completed our decompression obligation and exited the water to a nice cool mid day fall sun and a great end to the day. Now its a 7hr drive back to Chicago!!! Anxiety can come in the most subtle of forms and any awkward mis-understanding before during or after the dive is always good to communicate and mitigate and take action thereafter. I am glad eh dive was successful and the weekend of Missouri cave diving was great.
