I’m probably confused, but I though Revelation Space was the very deep far end of the cave, under the halocline with a mud floor and accessed by via a narrow horizontal crawl-under. Your video looks a lot more fun.

It is.

this is on the other side of all that.
 
Oh. I didn’t realize there was anything past the mud other than a small room, certainly nothing like that.

Hence the "revelation"...LOL.

Would love to head back there at some point. The fatality a couple years ago kinda put me off of it for awhile. But feeling pretty good about the newer unit and have some air miles I could burn again. The video is pretty motivating too :)
 
I've looked at the restriction a dozen times, never went through it. Multiple times I've come to it and seen it clouded out from a team 24-36 hours before.

If someone hasn't been to the Abyss Room or seen the bra, they probably shouldn't be jumping into revelation space yet. There's lots of other cool stuff in that cave to go check out. Heck the little circuit on the right from the super room is fun and right near the door.

I think the cloudy water there can be fairly typical as the warmer water in the halocline behind/below it seems to create a water trap of sorts. So when you go through it you have the "clear" water be the fuzzy halocline. Guess it depends on tidal stage too.

Agreed about the other areas of the cave worthy of exploration before RS. I was hesitant about posting this as the last thing I want to do is encourage others to rush back there, particularly those that don't have the requisite experience.

Yeah, it is definitely not one of the typical tourist cave diver safe places. It is a nice "revelation" (pun intended) to see, if you are prepared to do it properly and ready for several hours of deco.
