8 Rivers Sharps Cave Tour

8 Rivers Safe Development.com has posted an excellent tour of Sharp's Cave (text and photos by George Dasher), on their site...

"The photos from inside Sharps Cave clearly show the complex and unique features of this significant cave system," said George Phillips, president of Eight Rivers Safe Development, Inc.

"Obviously, any leaks from the pipeline or overflows from manholes or the pumping station will result in raw sewage entering Sharps Cave causing an immediate and negative impact to the cave and groundwater in the Big Spring Fork Valley.

Jamaican Caves Organisation: March 2006 Expedition DVD

This DVD takes you along with the JCO as they explore five caves in Jamaica's lush outback with surface/sub-surface video and stills.

St. Clair Cave:JCO members push a well know cave through a flurry of bats to discover going stream passage... with bad air.

Vaughansfield Cave: A machete to the entrance and then... thwarted by breakdown.

Smokey Hole: This is Jamaica's deepest cave at 195 meters. Video footage down through the entrance up to the edge of the 135 meter pit that bottoms it.

Rudist Rock: It's a muddy, sinuous, stream passage that leads to a well preserved series of fossils of the ancient Rudist tree.

Dunn's Hole:  Now we go into a 190 meter deep sinkhole, leading the viewer into Jamaica's largest cave chamber: 200 m long, 100 m wide and 80 m high.
