Coldwater Cave Passage

We followed the passage up stream and witnessed some of the formations and the section that they call the Sprong.  The sprong is a super low ceiling high water passage where we had to follow a line and literally kiss the ceiling to breathe in order to get to the upper sections of the cave.  I followed a line and slowly worked my way tip toing the ceiling and keeping my lips tight so water would not enter my mouth until I came up into walking passage again.  whew...that was interesting.

We continued on and witnessed some of the largest fish I have ever seen in the cave.  It must have got in there through a farmers pond or from another source.  We continued up until we go to the three dives section which is where there were long duck unders that mark was not sure about so we stopped where we were at and turned around. The whole trip took around 8 hours total and while I was going through the Sprong, I lost my underwater camea!!! that camera has the picture of the fish that I saw and it is forever lost now.

I really enjoyed the company I had with me and continued to enjoy the cave while making new friends.  We had a blast and I wanted to come back to visit the downstream section whcih I heard was interesting.

I ended up driving back home after the trip and that made for one long day but it was well worth the effort and time I got to spend out in coldwater cave.
