Hmmm,dont know about the one at 20' on the left,but the one at 30' on
the right is a short loop..If you proceed towards the beginning of the
permanent line,just before you get to it on the left,look up;there is
a steep bank of rock,and at the top you'll find the beginning of a
line(or at least there was 3 years ago.)This curves to the left and
goes under the entrance to little river.It emerges at about 30' on the
right side of the entrance as you're facing in.It's a short
passage,probably less than 150',and can be done with backmounts,albeit
a bit tight.I found it a good place to practice my sidemount technique
as you could practically freedive to the entrance if you had to..
(kids,dont try this at home) it's a bit reminiscent of the well at
peacock in it's a-frame shape,although much smaller.
