- A cave dive with Amy Vu, Clay Perdue, and Lee Sams at Emerald Sink in the Leon Sinks Area below Tallahassee, Florida. We dove from Emerald Sink over to Split Sink then surfaced for a few minutes. We then went back under and dove under Cheryl Sink and on back to Emerald via a different route than we originally took over to Split Sink. Nice enjoyable circuit. This cave is known for being large and dark. The walls are mostly black so they soak up any light making it hard to video. Not to mention all the particulates in the water which will also diminish visibility. Check out my book "The Education of a Cave Diver" here: www.amazon.com/Education-Cave...

What a neat video! You are right about all the black walls soaking up all the light. Forbidding and beautiful at the same time. The star light effects at the end were pretty stunning.
Nice to see doubles in use again (all nitrox in one set?) there certainly was enough space for them. Wonder what max depth you all hit? Never saw such a wide system like that before. Always nice to see your dives the morning after!
Keep them coming.
Yes, those black walls soak up the light! We were using air instead of nitrox. These tunnels range from 30 to 58 ft in depth. No need to spend money on nitrox for a 75 min dive at an average depth of 40 ft. Our max was 58ft, but we stayed off the bottom to make sure we stayed shallow.
@@GuyBryantCaveDiver I mentioned nitrox because it appeared the one diver had both tanks labeled nitrox. Which is fine considering the depth.
I used air, but the others used nitrox.
Man, I need to dive w you
Might be possible. Contact me when you are in the north Florida area. Maybe we can arrange to dive.
do you have any tips on how to get there? i have to go for an assignment but couldn't figure out how to find it
