He said nothing but that smiley face. The only editing was to tidy up the subject title.

It's pretty easy to navigate, but lots of ladders. You'll need to lower your kit with rope, no way you're getting a bottle down the ladder after the firemans hose attached to a person. I won't be able to, but I'll happily write up a short guide to get you to the the lower levels. Would be nice to see what's under certain parts.

There's a description here:

Entry is down a ladder, not along an adit. There used to be a dive line in situ, but I don't know whether it's still there.

Loads of video on Youtube to give you an idea.

UCET are probably the most frequent users, they like to drop noobs in there to get a feel for things.

Well worth a recce, but I'd only take gear along once you're happy with getting it up and down through the mine - you might have to pop a couple of bolts in to make lowering a lifting an easier task.

I've always imagined the flooded levels to be a silty hell hole

Yes, we (ucet) are there a lot- in fact the last trip was last thursday. The water level is quite high at the moment. Give us an email as i'm sure there will be a couple of people in the club who could probably show you the way down to the water as well as lend a hand getting your dive kit down.
