What are you calling the large arrow?
I was at Little River 3 days ago; at that time, there was a triangle
junction with 3 legs. One from the entrance to the junction, one
continuing up the serpentine passage, and the third connecting the
merry-go-round/shortcut tunnels to the junction.. There is no gap
here.=20
It seems to me that the large triangle is just a convenient way to
anchor a 3-point line without gaps. As it's symmetrical, it doesn't
really "point" to the exit. If there's ANY flow in the system at all
at this point,, it's blowing toward the entrance;even if there's not,
GEE! Guess you should have clipped the line you came in on, huh?
As to the placement of the permanent line, I think the current one
is a good compromise. It's out of sight of the entrance, so it
doesn't "entice" OW divers to go where they're unqualified to be, yet
it's conveniently placed to allow easy, rapid access to the cave for
qualified divers. I dive LR on a regular basis; it's close to home for
me, and a good place to just get wet. I ran reels through the keyhole
for years to where the old permanent line began. I CAN do it.. why
should I HAVE to? I cave dive to see cave. If i want to exercise,
I'll go to a gym.=20
A diver that reaches the point where the permanent line begins now
has not been "enticed" by the presence of the line;he is already in
the cave zone, and has decided to go on anyway, line or not. A
permanent line with an end close to the visible light zone could save
this idiot's life.=20
