8am sharp my alarm clock disrupted my sleep pattern, and it was time to clean the car out to make room for dive gear!\u00a0 Today was the first weekend that Jug Hole would be open to cave diving for the season!\u00a0 My dive here almost a year ago was one of my first side mount dives, so revisiting it should be a whole lot more fun.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s close to home, cheap ($4 entry fee), and a beautiful walk to the dive site, even though it’s far.\u00a0 After talking to the ranger, we found out that we were the first to dive here since it opened yesterday.<\/p>\n
Jug is a beautiful cave, albeit a short one.\u00a0 Most popular for it’s amazing cavern and light chimney, the cave is just under 700ft in linear penetration, with a single jump which leads to a nasty restriction where most of the water comes from.\u00a0 It has a well known restriction, called “Diamond Sands”, which refers to the minerals\u00a0 in the sand near it, which reflect like diamonds.\u00a0 There’s a clay room with beautiful layering, and several large rooms along the way.<\/p>\n
