    A simple photo trip after doing some lead pushing near the room of tears area.  This was the second dive of the day.  Took a bunch of photos until we needed to turn on air.

Warning sign in the entrance to CarwashThis was our second dive of the day, since we had plenty of air from the first dive, so we re-calced thirds to do some photos and a little lead pushing.  We headed out of the cavern zone, and into cave zone.  This sign says it all.

 

Dan Lins swims under stalgmites in CarwashThere are quite a few large stalactites hanging from the ceiling, that are fun to swim among.  Here Dan Lins passes under a few of them.

 

Dan Lins working with the reelDan spotted a low side mount passage off to the side, that hadn't been checked out.   So we tied in a reel to the main line, and headed off for it.

 

Dan Lins laying line in a side passageDan entered the new passage, laying the line as he went.  We ran the reel back for a bit, before it ended abruptly on us.  It was a pretty nice low side mount passage.

 

Dan Lins reels in the primary line in CarwashThen it was time to head back out.  A fun second dive, and my FIRST photo trip into and underwater cave.  Had lots of good 'learning experiences' in dealing with the camera, on top of everything else.  It takes quite a bit of concentration to deal with a camera, side mount gear, light, etc.  I managed to build some good techniques on how to keep track of it all.  A good way to finish out the day of diving.
