Andy, Brett, and Matt shot this video on Saturday. The lights they brought with them really bring out the best in this place.

twin dees is an amazing cave dive. and that tunnel they found there is just about the coolest thing i've ever seen
 
oh yea that part of the cave is tight. but the video ken posted is huge. i see you're on mobile so the embedded vimeo probably didn't work
some ways after the entrance tube the cave gets huge

The entrance to Twin Dees definitely is a tight squeeze. The first couple of times I tried to get in there I didn't get it quite right and was denied because I was getting my tanks keyed in the final little restriction. After laughing at me, someone else on the surface told me to rotate at the 30' mark, and viola.

It continues on as small cave for about 1200', then pops out into the first big room. By small I mean small -- 3-4' vertical clearance for the first 600' (but perhaps 5-6' wide), then 3' wide for a bit with a lot of vertical relief, then back to 3-4' vertical clearance. Then you pop into the first big room "the beach", where the bottom drops down to over 200', the ceiling is probably around 90'-100'.

The first 1000ft is a pain in the ass. After that it's the worlds bestest (after Indian).
