    Went snorkeling in some of the cave systems a couple of years ago, Did the Toads Mouth, the opening was so small we had to take our back packs off to fit through. There was one area once we were in the water that was so tight we could not move or we would hit the stalagmites...with only our snorkel above the water to breathe we pulled ourselves along using only our index fingers one hand at a time. Once we started going through there was no turning back. Definately NOT for anyone that even thinks they might be claustrophobic! :blueshock:
    But what an awsome beauty...once we got through the narrow part.Oh and did I mention that it was almost pitch black? Our flashlights were pretty much usless since we needed our fingerss to pull us through.
