Resurgence PS0053 - PS0053

Location
Where the road makes a 180¦ curve at the base of the cliffs, there is a tufa waterfall at the southern end of the curve. By climbing up the waterfall the resurgence is soon met at the base of the cliff.
Description
There are two small entrances in a low bedding plane. From the left hand entrance a tight crawl meets the right hand entrance after 2 m. To the left the floor drops away to a 6 m long pool which is 2 m deep and has 20 cm of airspace, but sumps after 6 m. The sump was investigated and found to be wide and open for at least 2 m without any airbells, but is a good diving prospect. A good flow was resurging from the cave when many other resurgences were dry.
