A friend of mine called me tonight wanting me to go with him and check out an open pit mine that he has recently obtained permission to dive. It's an old Benonite mine. My question is does anyone know of a reason not dive in an abandoned Benonite mine? Health concerns, contamination? Should I get the health department to do a workup on the water first? Benonite is a natural clay that's used in road construction for something or other, not quiet sure what. I don't really see it being any different from diving a limestone quarry, but thought I'd ask anyway.
