Unlike other systems, you do not enter the cave at its main entrance. The opening is simply too restricted and the flow too high. Instead, you get in at Catfish Hotel, a slightly offset sinkhole that gives you a huge window into the side of the cave. And, as at Orange Grove Sink, there is duckweed.
From Catfish Hotel, you turn right and head upstream along the main line. How far you get depends on factors such as flow, your breathing rate and how much gas you are carrying. When conditions are favorable, you may pass below Sue and Friedman’s Sinks.
Do not turn left and head toward the main spring. The current it too strong to make getting back anything but a struggle. The traverse to the main spring used to be a fun ride. Now a blockage at the entrance makes it extremely hazardous to attempt exiting there. Certified cave divers have died doing this.
