Great dive. Started as a 3 man team, but one buddy had catastrophic 1st stage blowout on his BM doubles about 100 ft. after jumping onto the gold-line (entered via Martz), and had to leave the dive. Equipped with a stage, he felt safe to go it alone to the main entrance, ~600 ft. away.

Guy & I continued to Rocky Horror, and turned at the elbow of the Courtyard, with a penetration of 4200 feet, max depth being 119 ft. We too exited the system via the Main spring. On 31%, I had a deco of 2 mins. at 20 ft., and then 8 at 10 ft.
