Cool! How far were you guys able to make it in there you think? I didn't see this in our trip as my friend Jeff was saying at point there was no more cave but just water that you had to swim under. Did you see something like that or get to that point?
@@TheDiabeticHikerbeen there a LONG time ago (that deck and the huge diagonal rock in the entrance both look new to me). Water was deeper then. Where it opens up we followed the bend around the left, a little deeper around a bend right and were already hitting a fully submerged section. I don't think we were anywhere near as far back as you went. Ice cave was actually ice to the entrance that year though. 2 years later the Ice cave was mud but didn't get to back in this cave to go further in.
Looking to take some friends and family here and was doing some research and discovered that there are high levels of CO2 in this cave. Apparently it's from decomposing matter coming from Navajo Lake. Thats why you guys got light headed.
Sorry I didn't catch this comment earlier and responded. But, really? That would make sense. I would bring an O2 sensor next time just to confirm and see what other gases are present. But it sounds like black damp is back there.
Awesome we just hike in there wasn’t full of water like your trip

@@TheDiabeticHiker we went about 10 minutes in. Opened up after you get these little crevice on the floor . Water looked pretty deep at that point

I always wanted to know what it’s like in there
