About Goodenough Springs Exploration Project

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE DIVING AT GOODENOUGH SPRINGS Divers who enter Goodenough Springs are executing a CAVE DIVE. In addition, the spring entrance lies 160 feet below the lake’s surface – well beyond the safe limits of recreational diving. It is a scientific fact that nitrogen narcosis impairs the judgment and performance of EVERY deep-air or nitrox diver. And to complicate matters further, Goodenough Springs discharges a strong current that significantly increases a diver’s breathing rate. And even a dive to the clear-water zone puts you in an overhead environment within the cave’s confines. Since 1960, more than 431 divers have died in cave diving accidents in the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean. No less than 19 were FULLY CERTIFIED OPEN WATER SCUBA INSTRUCTORS - but without any training in the specialized area of cave diving. NO AMOUNT OF PREVIOUS OPENWATER DIVING EXPERIENCE OR TRAINING CAN ADEQUATELY PREPARE YOU FOR CAVE DIVING. All divers affiliated with the Goodenough Springs Exploration Project are required to utilize Trimix breathing gasses (oxygen, helium, and nitrogen) on every dive to prevent narcosis beyond the recreational limit of 130 feet. In addition, every diver who penetrates the cave entrance is required to have formal CAVE DIVING TRAINING. Goodenough is a public resource of the U.S. National Park Service, and diving on-site by open-water divers is not prohibited. But we respectfully ask you to carefully consider the consequences of making such a dive. Nothing inside this cave is worth losing your life over.
