We all 3 dropped ours, and proceeded down the Hill 400 to the first jump beyond p1000.\u00a0 We took that jump, and knew that the line would make a sharp left, which meant the ice room line was streight ahead.\u00a0 We would tie in, and go streight, which would lead us up a little to a ledge, where the line would be just out of sight past the ledge.\u00a0 From there, the Ice Room is just two T&#8217;s away, and to make it easy, you go right at both T&#8217;s.\u00a0 The final 50-100ft of the Ice Room is VERY silty, and you really need to make sure you have the gas to go really slow to avoid a siltout, or damaging the cave.<\/p>\n<p>Dive run time was around 105minutes, and roughly 15 minutes of deco (I lost my wet notes sheet that we calculated deco on).\u00a0 We had reserved 50% extra deco gas so that any of us could have a failure and share our o2 to deco a buddy out.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/jamesg.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/devilsiceroom.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[102]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-116\" title=\"Devils- Ice Room Via Hill 400 and Lins Line\" src=\"http:\/\/jamesg.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/devilsiceroom-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/jamesg.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/iceroomdeco.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[102]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-119\" title=\"James on Deco after the Ice Room\" src=\"http:\/\/jamesg.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/iceroomdeco-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dive Time&#8211; 126 Minutes.
