  For the last 3 weeks, members of the Woodville Karst Plain Project
have been conducting a series of dives in the Chip's Hole Cave System.
The goal was to was to connect the Chip's system with the Leon Sinks
System. Chip's was extended in 1991 to 10,444 feet by S. Exley, then a
World Record Penatration. The final push team of Rick Sankey and Brent
Scarabin add 3660 feet of new line on a 300 minute bottom time. A
connection with the Leon Sinks Cave System was not reached, however, a
new World Penatration Record was achieved at 14,104 FEET. The distance
traveled was from another sink downstream from Chip's called Cal's.
The total distance from Chip's was over 14,900 feet. There will be
more info on these dives to follow, I just wanted to report the
results of these dives to show what a TEAM can do. 

      Sorry Oliver

Barry
