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. John L. Dunk Tallahassee,Fl. screwloose@ne*.co*
