My friends took me to a place I had never been. You might say it was a whole new level…. with steep rock walls and water at the bottom!<\/p>\n

Just outside of Ramsay there is an open mine pit from days long ago. Its filled with water and perfect for diving. The walls are steep and almost vertical. I tried to swim down to the bottom where the water line meets the rock but its incredibly deep. I made it as far as to where the thermal layer was and the day light started to fade. It freaked me out to go any deeper.<\/p>\n

The water is very still and clear with a slight tropical green color. Not a scummy inland lake green but a very exotic look. Coming up from a deep dive the surface of the water looks as if it is inches away even though it may be 10′ away. The pit was warm and refreshing. I didn’t jump from too high up but I got some good pics of the more daring folks diving\/falling in.<\/p>\n
