Engelbrecht Cave East
Cave: CDAA site rating [1] [3] (East passage to the main chamber rock pile.). Advanced Cave: CDAA site rating [2] [3] (East Extension (EEX), advanced sidemount only.). Эти категории взяты из самой схемы наименований и описывают уровень подготовки, которого требует сайт.
The eastern dive entrance of Engelbrecht Cave: a Cave-rated, low silty sump of about 70 m to an air chamber, and the way on to the Advanced Cave, sidemount-only East Extension.
Divers reach the East passage down a short, steep stairway inside the eastern tourist cave. A low, flat, silty passage of about 70 m leads to an inner air chamber and lake, with some side passages along the way; the CDAA gives a maximum depth of 8 m.
From the air chamber, Advanced Cave divers can climb over the rock pile into the East Extension (EEX), which the CDAA describes as more than 400 m of passage to 22 m with dry squeezes and a sump whose water level changes with the seasons. Cave-rated divers must stop at the main chamber rock pile, EEX is sidemount-only, and training is not allowed there.
Среда погружения
