They are not as fast as those of us who are seasoned in swimming in caves but the first leg of the dive was under 55 minutes down the Peacock peanut tunnel to cvhallenge with 10 minutes are so being spent on drills enroute. thus if it had been a contininious swim it would havebeen about 45 minutes. On the return they did the crossover back to olsen and then repeated the circuit again and then went up and did a few drills. The peurpose is to train them for long dives and to maintain technique once tired. This class did several big dives for students, and had a total of over 800 minutes of cave bottom time in the class so I think they did ok for themselves. At least it is a good starting point and is a relistic beginning for cave diving Tom
