Jan. 20, 2008 - PCS welcomes cave divers Robin Bernarbe and Graham Blackmore as its newest members. Together with Bobby Manas, the trio pushed beyond "Ulong Tubig" resurging sump to discover an underwater chamber with an initial recorded depth of 5.5 meters. With the inner chamber laid with varying sizes & shapes of limestone plus a milky water vizibility of one meter, difficulty in navigating directions were encountered to further find the resurging water passage or
any dry sections. A 2nd dive by Robin and Graham reported worsened visibility in the inner chamber but more water space were found at a shallow section which could lead to the potential resurging passage. The team has discussed to attempt another push around March to avail of summer conditions which would have less water action inside the cave and clearer visibility.With showers lingering throughout the day and turning the already less than ideal off-road conditions into muck, the drive out of the mountain trail was an adventure in itself. Much appreciation to Mike Nera for providing off-road guiding and an extra 4x4 vehicle, and to the MME Staff for providing essential logistical support.
