Not the same thing. Cave of the Falls is supposed to be the longest cave in the county.

I don't recall exactly where it is because I had a guide giving me directions.
But I do remember that it is full of water. You crawl on your belly through a very tight opening under a large rock and continue to crawl for a while and hope that it opens up. It does open up, but it does so downwardly so as you're crawling, the floor gets further away and you basically end up swimming in frigid water that's neck high in total darkness. In such conditions, your muscles become weak very quickly and the danger of continuing any further becomes apparent. It was pretty disappointing... |

Anyone trying to access the cave that way could get stuck, or worse. Please take my advise and don't even consider it. Only an opossum could get in that way. There used to be two shaft entrances in that area but they've been turned into storm drains since the area's been developed. The only entrance to the cave is via its outfall, over a km away. Happy hunting! |

That would be funny, but that's not what my research indicates.
Have you been in a cave there?
I've been in a cave nearby. |

That's those two drains that are gated off. You're not going to get in through them.

So I don't really care about the locations, but has anybody here been in the cave or taken pictures of it? Give me and the other retards a brief explanation about this cave what's in and makes it so dangerous, the small entrance? I saw the other thread

This one time while I was diving in a cave the water was SOOOO cold I started using my arms and the guide was like you arent suppose to use your arms and I said I just was trying to stay warm! Wet suits dont even work for very long in cold water.

Aren't you supposed to wear dry suits in cold water?
