I'd highly recommend that when you dive Eagles Nest for the first time, you go there with someone who has dove it before and is familiar with the system. There's some more info at http://www.tampadiving.com/sections/diving/cave_systems/system.asp?ID=26
Hope this helps
Safe diving,

Wallacm,
In order to dive Eagles Nest there are some prerequisites to have such as the number of cave dives and the gas cert. These were made when the site was opened to permit diving there. The intent is to ensure a certain profficiency level of understanding. I agree with Rich Courtney is you have not ben there go with someone who has

Thanks all very much, I have decided not to go there anytime soon due to the visibility. Have talked with a few people at a LDS and they were saying its only like 5-10 ft. It will be done in the future I've been waiting for 4 years now to get the certs to do it.
It is good that a person diving this place has the requiste training,but it is very unforgiveable for mistakes. Due to the extreme depth things happen very quickly. Even if you have an experienced buddy,buddy seperation can occur and then I'd become dependent on skill. I would encourage someone diving there have a lot of experience prior to an attempting a dive there.

WallaCM,
Please note that the cautions being given here are ALL by cave instuctors who've all done several thousand cave dives.
Eagles Nest is NOTHING to fool with. My instructor aborted a dive there a couple of weeks ago. And he's been diving caves for 20+ years. Have you done any other deep caves to prepare for the Nest?

I don't think anyone wants to scare you, just want you to be safe so you can have fun at the Nest. If you think you may not be up for it, then the best course of action is the one you have chosen.
Best of luck, and be safe man!
