The first of the two rolls I took at Ginnie Springs was an attempt at using a slave strobe to make the shots more interesting. We did most of the shots in the big room (1000' penetration) and then made a circuit back to the gold line at the maple leaf (1200' penetration). I finished the roll on the main line at table rock (400' penetration). The end result was that the slave strobe I used would not trigger with my primary strobe, even from extremely close.

I shot the second roll on our 1450 penetration to find the whale bones (Gold line[500'] -> Hill 400[500'] -> Siphon Tunnel[50'] -> Double Lines[300'] -> Unamed Line[100'] -> Return same way). We failed to find the bones when I wasn't able to locate the last jump. Next time I'm drawing a map and taking it with me.

This spring is a bit of a hassle to dive. You have to check into the sheriff's office to get a key. Diving is only allowed when the park is closed (in January for example). After getting the key and paying the fee, you drive to the park and let yourself in. It is a pretty good hike from the nearest road to the water down a good size hill. Getting back up with double 108s was not fun.

All that said, this site will be a regular for me. We were alone (aside from some errant open water divers that came in by boat). The water was crystal clear and the cavern was the nicest I've seen. I shot two rolls of film in 2 dives. The first roll was shot during our 950 foot penetration and subsequent deco/loitering in the cavern zone. The second roll was shot on a very short 200' penetration and primarily in the cavern zone.
