I'm guessing you are referring to this?

Odds are these aren't very extensive as there is a level further down and that's not flooded.
But its not too bad of a walk, I haven't done that adit but the other adit I did is roughly at the same level. Most of the walk is fairly level but the last slog up to the adit might be a bit miserable with kit.

FILTH - Think this is a playground? Think again...

If you look at the mine page (for this or any other mine for that matter) there's a link to the Streetmap website with a 1:25000 o/s map on it.

No thing worth diving I don't think? All the flooded stopes or whinzes are above levels that are bone dry, as Blober says, so they can't be very extensive? Also you only need to put one foot in the water and the silt is up straight away. The trek up the hillside would be a killer too....
