A flooded lead mine. No current, super viz, water a constant 58 - so a 7 mm or drysuit is needed. The mine is cavern like, with the more experienced trails being more cave diving like. All of the mining equipment still underwater - trains, ore carts, rails, shovels, shacks, dynamite boxes, etc. Lighting is provided from surface to light the cavern so underwater gives a twilight type of viz. The staff is super safe - briefings, planned trails, guide and safety diver with the group. Skill checks before the dives - air checks during the dive. While it may appear to be cave diving - the beginning trails aren't and can be done by anyone with good bouyancy control. It is a unique experience. Take the boat and walking tour too! |
